Our Challenge
This minor has a challenge based approach and will result in an actionable challenge description for climate adaptation making use of the core knowledge areas of spatial engineering: Spatial Information Science (SIS), Spatial Planning for Governance (SPG) and Technical Engineering (TE). There are 2 components in the minor. I. A challenge to guide integration of knowledge and develop self-directed, life-long learning skills. It is an introduction into the learning environment of the master’s programme Spatial Engineering (see also https://www.utwente.nl/en/education/master/programmes/spatial-engineering/). II. A course on one of the core knowledge areas of Spatial Engineering to give you foundational knowledge. You will be guided to choose one of the 3 core knowledge areas: one that you are not yet familiar with.
