An Engineering Doctorate is an official-accredited degree as professional technological designer. During this in-depth program, you become a specialist while following a tailored post-master education programme. Further, you work with the external organization Allinq Group to develop a high-level and creative solution for the Universal Test Trench problem.
The sector (e.g., represented in COB) therefore advocates for increasing the amount of information shared about the underground between contractors and network owners. Various stakeholders in the sector support the idea that data from trial trenches and recently deployed utility lines should be shared. Existing (GNSS) and new (LiDAR/photogrammetry) technologies seem to have pushed this idea toward developing a centralized approach to sharing utility data. However, what data should be shared, how it needs to be modelled, stored, and visualized remains unclear.
This culminates in the following goal of this EngD, which is to:
Develop a unified approach to storing, exchanging, and visualizing (test) trench information between stakeholders in the utility construction sector.
We wonder: Can we develop a data model to capture the geometries and semantics of test trenches? Which registration technologies should this model be able to support? And how can data be visualized to support utility engineering activities?
Interested? We invite you to apply in case you:
We offer you a very challenging position in an inspiring multidisciplinary environment. In this time we will provide you with a tailor made post-master design program that has an educational component (50%) as well as a design project (50%).
We offer:
The University of Twente is situated on a green and lively campus with lots of facilities for sports and other activities.
On successfully completing the program, you will receive a certified and recognised degree. You will be entitled to use the academic degree PDEng and will be registered as a Technological Designer in the Dutch register kept by the Royal Institution of Engineers in the Netherlands (KIVI).
Don’t wait, and apply for this two-year track that combines a paid post-master study with gaining work experience in an attractive and forward-looking mid-sized Dutch contractor. Take this opportunity and apply for this nice applied design project within the ZoARG | ReDUCE (Reduction of Damage to Utilities and Careful Excavation) research unit of the Construction Management and Engineering cluster of the ET faculty.
