Delft Ingenious Design Employee Association DIDEA

About Delft Ingenious Design Employee Association DIDEA

DIDEA (Delft Ingenious Design Employees Association) is the association started and maintained by the PDEng (Professional Doctorate in Engineering) trainees at Technical University of Delft (TU Delft). The PDEng is a specialised design traineeship that prepares qualified candidates with Masters’ degrees for the challenges inherent in an industry-driver profession. This two year, one-of-a-kind programme involves advanced courses that refine the technical knowledge the trainee possesses, while also improving understanding of the economical and managerial aspects of design and the engineering practice.

DIDEA works as facilitator between the trainees and Industry, as well as social platform for both, the programme management and trainees.

DIDEA involves all PDEngs, current and alumni, across the three programmes at TU Delft (Chemical Product Design – CPD, Process and Equipment Design – PED, and BioProcess Engineering – BPE). It has three main objectives:

- Keep contact with alumni to maintain industry links

- Social platform for current trainees

- Promote the PDEng programme

The organization comprises a main board, programme representatives and several committees. The board members and programme representatives are democratically elected every 6 months, while the committees are open to all who want to participate. The latter are in charge of running a variety of activities in support of the vision defined by the Board.

The board consists of a Chairman, a Secretary and a Treasurer. They are in charge of defining the vision and key objectives for their term, as well as managing the overall operations.
