CURRENT ISSUES RESTRUCTURING A MECHANIC
ENGINEERING CURRIULUM

• Basically DTU has two parallel educational
  programmes
• A five years programme giving a M.Sc. degree
• A three-and-a-half year programme giving a B.
  Eng. degree.
• The M.Sc. programme is intended to attract
  theoretically strong students.
• The B.Eng. programme is directed towards more
  practically oriented students.
• The staff responsible for the M.Sc. curriculum is
  research based.
• The staff responsible for the B.Eng. curriculum
  is currently teaching-only staff.

15
CURRENT ISSUES RESTRUCTURING THE MECHANIC
ENGINEERING CURRIULUM

• Both programmes are up for a revision. Due to
  changes, so that all staff in the future will be
  research based, the programme for the B.Eng. is
  now reengineered and the new curriculum was
  launched in September 2003.
• The M.Sc. curriculum is planned to be renewed and
  launched by September 2004.
• The new M.Sc. curriculum must consist of a three
  years B.Sc. programme plus a two years M.Sc.
  programme.
