Detalhes do curso
Programa de Estudos
Module 1: Introduction to Forensic Engineering
You will learn what Forensic Engineering is and why it is important. Furthermore, you will be introduced to basic concepts such as lifecycles of constructed facilities, failure, and damage.
Module 2: The Forensic Engineering Investigation
You will learn the basic steps of a Forensic Engineering process and how the TU Delft mind-set can help to perform these steps in a factual, reliable and systematic way.
Module 3*: Case from Civil Engineering
You will learn about various structural failure mechanisms and you will practice setting hypotheses for structural failures.
Module 4*: Case from Aerospace Engineering
You will learn about the failure mechanism fatigue in airplanes and how you can test to see whether this occurred.
Module 5*: Case from Biomechanical Engineering
You will learn about contamination of medical instruments and how technical and procedural aspects play a role.
Module 6: Course debriefing
In this week, the outcomes of the different cases from Modules 3-5 are revealed. Best practices and tips for the future are discussed and some results and contributions from participants are put in the spotlight!
*Modules 3-5 will be offered at the same time, to allow students to choose or prioritize their preferred module(s) based on their main areas of interest.

A Universidade de Tecnologia de Delft, mais conhecida por TU Delft, é a maior e mais antiga universidade pública dos Países Baixos.
Tem a sua sede em Delft, nos Países Baixos. No QS World University Rankings 2022, está classificada entre as 10 melhores universidades de engenharia e tecnologia do mundo. Em arquitetura e engenharia civil, ficou classificada em 2º lugar no mundo, a seguir ao MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology).
Plataforma
EdX est une plateforme d'apprentissage en ligne (dite FLOT ou MOOC). Elle héberge et met gratuitement à disposition des cours en ligne de niveau universitaire à travers le monde entier. Elle mène également des recherches sur l'apprentissage en ligne et la façon dont les utilisateurs utilisent celle-ci. Elle est à but non lucratif et la plateforme utilise un logiciel open source.
EdX a été fondée par le Massachusetts Institute of Technology et par l'université Harvard en mai 2012. En 2014, environ 50 écoles, associations et organisations internationales offrent ou projettent d'offrir des cours sur EdX. En juillet 2014, elle avait plus de 2,5 millions d'utilisateurs suivant plus de 200 cours en ligne.
Les deux universités américaines qui financent la plateforme ont investi 60 millions USD dans son développement. La plateforme France Université Numérique utilise la technologie openedX, supportée par Google.
