Graduation Day
The first purpose of a university is to deliver graduates who are well trained in academic thinking and, in the case of a University of Technology like Delft, develop appropriate engineering skills. A successful graduation project at the end of their last year is the best way for students to demonstrate what they have learned in this respect. At the Faculty of Design Engineering the project and the final exam are individualized and rightly so. It is the best way to ensure final learning and allows the best method of assessment as well. A team of 3 or 4 mentors takes care of the prospective graduate and helps him or her until 6 weeks before the exam when there is a ‘green light’ meeting. Here they check whether there is sufficient substance present to ensure a positive graduation day. The ‘green light’ is a very serious meeting. Substance (there should be ‘flesh on the bones’), content (no gaps, no ‘inventions still to be made’), completeness (the outline of the final report should be present as well as sufficient text to allow it to be finalized just by putting in hours) should all be in place. Last but not least something new or creative has to be demonstrated. ‘Green light’ meetings can easily turn into ‘orange’ or even ‘red light’ meetings. This is to protect the candidate, whether you like it or not it is better to fail in the mentor group than when your family and friends are in front of you.
