TU/e Design Prize
Eindhoven University of Technology promotes excellent and innovative research and technological design throughout its full academic spectrum. To acknowledge this publicly, every year Eindhoven University of Technology awards tribute to their best M.Sc. candidates, PDEng candidates, and PhD candidates of the previous academic year. Since 2008, Eindhoven University of Technology also awards a tribute to the work (M.Sc., PDEng, or PhD) that has the most impact on the future perspectives of society at large.
For each of these categories, candidates can be nominated and eventually an independent jury determines which of the nominated theses is considered to be the best. During the annual Academic Awards Ceremonies, all nominees are acknowledged by the university's Executive Board and the best receives a prize.
PDEng candidates of Eindhoven University of Technology can compete for the TU/e Design Prize (D) as well as for the TU/e Perspective Prize (P). Each of the eight PDEng degree programmes is allowed to nominate one report/project.
In the context of the Software Technology PDEng degree programme, since a number of years, our nomination for the TU/e Design Prize is determined by a jury of members of our Industry Advisory Board who will select the best report out of a collection of projects that at the end have been assessed as excellent or that have been recommended especially by their TU/e supervisors. Over the last years, graduates of the Software Technology PDEng degree programme have been successful in achieving high ranking in the context of the TU/e Design Prize.
