Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs)

TU Delft offers ‘Massive Open Online Courses’ (MOOCs) on the edX-platform. A MOOC is an online course aiming at a large audience in an open manner. The MOOC can be followed for free, or you can add a verified certificate for a small fee. In addition to traditional course materials such as videos, readings, and problem sets, MOOCs provide interactive user forums that help build a community for the students, professors, and teaching assistants.

Online Academic Courses

The TU Delft offers a number of courses of the Aerospace BSc and MSc programs online. This means that you can take part in the courses in your own time and at your own pace. The online academic courses are largely identical to the courses given on campus and will thus give you a good academic background into the topic.

Linear Modelling, including (FEM)

This course delivers the skillset in linear modeling that is required to solve structural problems using finite element (FE) models for practical applications.

Non-Linear Modelling

This course builds on the linear modelling course and delivers the skill set in non-linear structural modeling & analysis in the framework of the finite element method.

Aeroelasticity

Aeroelasticity is the interaction between structural dynamics and unsteady aerodynamic flow over the structure. Learn all about it in this course.

Fatigue of Structures & Materials

This course will provide you with the knowledge and skills to identify potential fatigue critical locations and sources of poor fatigue performance in structures.

Design of Lightweight Structures 1: Composites and Metals

Economics and Ecologics go hand in hand for aircraft. How do we get structures light and keep safety, durability, maintainability and other aspects up to par?

Helicopter Performance, Stability and Control

This course gives an extended introduction into the field of rotorcraft including conventional helicopters and hybrid aircraft-rotorcraft configurations.

Rotor and Wake Aerodynamics

Rotor and wake aerodynamics are key to many applications such as helicopter and propeller rotors in transport and wind turbines for electricity generation.

Modeling, Simulation and Application of Power and Propulsion Systems

This course teaches a unique and proven method to develop modular system models and to implement them in state-of-the-art specialized software.

Professional Education Courses

Next to offering MOOCs and online academic courses, TU Delft also offers a range of courses specifically designed for working professionals. These courses focus on practical knowledge and skills which you should be able to use in your day to day work. Upon completion of one of these courses, you will receive Continuing Education Credits (CEU’s).
