This Industrial Biotechnology course at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) provides the insights and tools for the design of biotechnology processes in a sustainable way. 

This Aircraft Performance - Physics and Simulation course from Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) will not teach you how to pilot an aircraft as taught in flying schools but rather why this is the best way of doing it by providing you with a more fundamental understanding of the physics governing aircraft performance.

What do collapsed buildings, infected hospital patients, and crashed airplanes have in common? If you know the causes of these events and conditions, they can all be prevented. The Forensic Engineering - Learning from Failures programme is offered by the Delft University of Technology (TU Delft).  

The Pre-University Calculus course from Delft University of Technology (TU Delft)  will prepare you for the Introductory Calculus courses by revising four important mathematical subjects that are assumed to be mastered by beginning Bachelor students: functions, equations, differentiation and integration. After this course you will be well prepared to start your university calculus course.

The Biocatalysis and Protein Engineering course at the Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) aims to familiarize participants with the integrated, interdisciplinary approach required to utilize the catalytic potential of enzymes and whole cells for the production of useful compounds.

With recent advances in Bioprocess Design at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) and a growing biomass availability for use as industrial feedstock, the bio-based economy is getting a wider range of inputs.

This Observation Theory - Estimating the Unknown at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) is the course that teaches you how to find the best estimates of the unknown parameters from noisy observations. You will also learn how to assess the quality of your results.

This Modelling and Computation for Micro-organisms in Bioprocesses course at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) brings together contributions from different disciplines, i.e. bioprocess technology, applied physics, transport phenomena, molecular biology and biomedical sciences.

The Microbial Physiology and Fermentation Technology course at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) aims to familiarize participants with the integrated, interdisciplinary approach required in modern biotechnology. 

In Transport Phenomena, the transport and transfer of momentum, heat and mass are studied. To understand these processes which often take place simultaneously, the underlying concepts will be covered in this "The Basics of Transport Phenomena" course at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft).

Learn the principles, process design, and troubleshooting techniques for anaerobic wastewater treatment and get the full potentials of your anaerobic high-rate reactor. This High-rate Anaerobic Wastewater Treatment course is offered at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft).

The aim of the Downstream Processing course at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) is to provide the tools for the participants to be able to quantitatively and systematically design an integrated downstream process.

The Integrated Multi-Omics Approaches for Improvement of Industrial Microbes course at the Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) aims to offer a coherent overview of current state of the art omics technologies, bridging the different cellular levels, i.e. metabolomics, fluxomics, transcriptomics and proteomics.

The Introduction to Aeronautical Engineering course at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) uses examples from the very beginning of aviation (the Montgolfier brothers' balloon flight in 1783 and the Wright brothers' heavier-than-air flight in 1903) and continues all the way through to the current Airbus A380 and future aircraft. 

In this Advanced Transport Phenomena course at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft), you will learn about the engineering principles that play an important role in all of these and more phenomena. You will learn about microbalances, radiation, convection, diffusion and more and their applications in everyday life.

Despite its increased accessibility, data is often insufficient and can therefore impact quantitative assessments regarding future events, risks or opportunities. In this Decision Analysis Under Uncertainty course at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) you will learn to apply a tried and tested tool to use expert opinions to quantify uncertainty.
