Structural Engineering & Design (SED) revolves around the structural aspects of the built environment. Buildings and infrastructure become more and more complex. We build higher and closer together, and we use many new materials, products and methods. How do we (literally) keep the built environment upright? How do we ensure that our buildings and infrastructure are optimally strong, rigid and stable?
It is a matter that affects everyone within our built environment. Moreover, it is an extremely current topic in our society. After all, we all want structures to be safe, also in the event of earthquakes, for example.
Topics related to the field of Structural Engineering & Design include:
In the Structural Engineering & Design master's track, you will learn to design, schematize, calculate and assess the structures of buildings and infrastructure. You will also obtain scientific research skills, related to small- and large-scale laboratory research and analytical and numerical research. You will use additional methods, such as analytical and experimental methods, finite elements and other numerical methods, artificial intelligence, programming, parametric design, and optimization. The fields of study you will be involved in as a student of this master's track are:

Topics related to the field of Structural Engineering & Design include:
- Sustainable use of materials: construction consumes a large portion of our resources. How can we change this?
- Digitization: housing shortages are increasing. So are labor shortages. Digitization of the related processes, from design and optimization to production and execution, leads to a better built environment.
- Reuse of existing and aging buildings and infrastructure: how will they remain usable with potential structural interventions without excessive investments and disruptive interventions, like closures?

The fields of study you will be involved in as a student of this master's track are:
- The design of (the topology of) structures in relation to spatial building design, and the creation of new typologies, e.g. light-weight structures. All of this by using traditional and artificial intelligence (AI) techniques;
- Applied mechanics: the response of structures and materials in terms of load effects and deformation and vibration behavior;
- Structural behavior and properties of structures made of common and less common materials, such as concrete, steel, timber, brick, aluminum, (biobased) composites, glass, and so on.
