• Exception: Lecture series: runs over both years, but evaluation is in year 2, so select it in year 2 only !

33

Standard or flexible trajectoryYou choose yourself which courses you follow when and how manycredits you take per year or semester !

Two possibilities:

1) Pre-defined model trajectory (only courses from your phase)- Guaranteed lecture and exam schedule

- Balanced spread over the semesters

- Indication of education phase (1 or 2) and sem (1 or 2)

- Decision on pass/fail taken at the end !

- Advise to follow model trajectory as much as possible !

2) Indivualized trajectory (courses from both phases)- not following the model trajectory

- follow courses from different phases

- check order of enrolment information (i.e. prerequisite) !

- In case of re-registrations of failed courses

- Decision on pass/fail taken at the end !

Standard of flexible trajectory

Recommended to choose Standard trajectory as much as possibleto avoid problems with schedules etc.

34

Course prerequisites and progresscondition (Order of enrolment)

• Course prerequisites:- Strict condition: credits for course A should have been obtained

before you can select course B

- Flexible condition: course A should have been followed (but notpassed) before you can select course B

- Simultaneous condition: course A and course B should be followedat least simultaneously

• Progress condition:- You should have obtained x credits before you can select course C:

• Nanomaster: 48 ects to start Master thesis and/or internship !

• In some cases I can overrule these prerequisites, only ifmotivated (e.g. prerequisite of Bachelor degree)

2) Project management: can only be followed in year of master thesis (i.e. not possible for EMM students !)

,

Projectwork 1st year

Two practical courses during 1st phase: one of both is compulsory !- Choice from list of projects- Groups of 2-3 students (teamwork is important !)- Learn to work independently, prepare for thesis - Conclude with report and presentation - Evaluation by coordinator and supervisors !

1) Project work Nanoscience (A. Stesmans coordinator)- Oriented to scientific experimental work

2) Practical design Nanotechnology (C. Van Hoof, coordinator)- Oriented to design of integrated nanotechnology system

42

Project work Nanoscience

Aim: to master the details of an “unknown” nano research aspect, and in taking initiative, develop research skills in a spirit of collaboration within a research environment.

Examples of projects performed

• STM study of self-assembly at the liquid-solid interface

• Effect of polymorphs on preferential adsorption

• Polycrystalline seed layers for thin-film solar cells

• Epitaxial layers for high efficiency thin film solar cells

• Guided motion and rectification of vortices in superconductors

• Lab-on-chip technology based on digital microfluidics

• Bio-electronic nose

• In search of graphene

Practical design nanotechnology

Aim: going through a design cycle of a micro/nano system (specs, why, how, implementation, test) in a limited timeframe- “System” = combination of sensors/

actuators, microelectronics, embeddedintelligence and packaging

- “micro/nano” = emphasis on miniaturization

Example = design, implement and test a functional sensor for a wireless sensor node

= combination of analog, digital, wireless, sensing, integration, power generation and storage, packaging, ….

• There are 3 examination periods: - Jan.12 – Jan 31 : 1st semester courses- June 8 – July 3 : 2nd sem courses + evt. 2nd chance for 1st sem courses (EMM only)- Aug. 10 – Sep 5 : 2nd chance for 1st and 2nd sem courses

• Exams can ONLY take place during these periods, do not make appointments with teachers outside these periods !

• most exam schedules will be completed in advanceso that you will know when you will have to do exams for all the courses you take this year.

• IES = tool to (automatically) assign or selectexam moments, and is automatically linked to your ISP.

• Check with your choice of ISP also your exam schedule before you send the ISP !

After ISP: check your exam schedule

51

Exams and IES

1. Assignation period: 8-21 september- Exams for compulsory courses of your study phase are automatically assigned !

You can only check the schedule, but not change it.

- ATTENTION ! If you deselect a compulsory course in your ISP in this periodand afterwards want to select it again your exam moment is gone, and you cannot register it anymore in this period !

2. Registration period: 22 september – 8 october- Your can now select and register exam moments for all non-compulsory courses and for

compulsory courses of another study phase

- You can also change already assigned exam moments for compulsory courses to another date in order to avoid possible conflicts with other exam moments for electives !

• The exams for courses without a schedule at this moment, will be organized in agreement with the teacher.

• Only send your ISP when exam schedule is complete !

• For exams of the third examination session (august-september) you have toregister beginning of july (deadline: 15 july):

• When you pass the course you cannot do a retake to increase your score !

• You can send motivated request for permission by the faculty to do retake exams of sem 1 courses in the June session, but only for special reasons (should be motivated and exceptional !)

• EMM students are allowed to take second chanceexams in the June session to allow a smooth transitionto 2nd year university, BUT it is advised to do this onlyif the number of exams is limited to a few (1 to 3 max) ! They have to ask permission as well !

Common scoring system for EMM Nano students

• all courses of the program, including the master thesis, are scored ina common scoring system.

• 1st year is initially scored in KUL scoring system, conversion for 1st

year scores is done in October of the second year

• local academic coordinator of each institution is responsible for theconversion and delivery of the examination scores to the programcoordinator at K.U. Leuven

• common grading scale in 6 categories from 8 to 20, using the conversion table (next slide)

•scores and the ECTS credits on each course unitare stored in the ICTS system of K.U.Leuven

57

CSE and re-registration

• If you fail a course twice: ter-registration is allowed ifCSE>50%, if CSE<50%: you are refused to register for 1 academic year for the course.

• If you fail a course 3 times: quater-registration is NOT allowed: you are refused to register for 3 academic yearsfor the course.

• Deviations on the refusal can be possible by Director Student Administration, based on special individualcircumstances

Pass/fail criteria for EMM program

• Exams take place in the sessions organized by the local partner university, according to the rules of the university.

• The ects-credits are gained for the course if you pass the exam, according to the rules of the local university (can be different for each university)

• If you obtained more than 60 ects-credits, credits can only be transferred to the next year if the excess represents a full course.

• Students who do not pass the exam of the course, can get 1 or more retakes in the same academic year, according to the rules of the local university.

- at KUL: only 2 chances per academic year !

58

Pass/fail criteria (EMM)

You obtain the joint Master diploma if - you obtained minimum 120 credits in total- AND you obtained minimum 54 credits at each of both universities

First year students:If you gain 60 ects: you can go to the next year at the second universityIf you gain between 54 and 60 ects:- you can still go the the 2nd university !- you have to add the missing credits to the second year program (= upto

66 ects) - extra courses are chosen from elective broadening courses of the partner university of year 2.

- Fundamental and compulsory/core courses cannot be failed ! You will have to come back to KU Leuven next year to do re-takes (at your own cost !)


First year students:

• If you gain less then 54 ects:- either you quit the Master!- or you can re-register for a second chance at K.U. Leuven for the

missing credits (see rules on CSE !)- You will have to come back to do the exam for the missing

credits (at your own costs !)

• For students with a scholarship that do not obtain 48 credits at the start of the 2nd year the Board has the right to revoke the admission of the student to the program. In that case the scholarship is automatically discontinued.

• BUT: be careful for visa issues !!!!!

Evaluation/grades

The diploma will also mention a grade<68%: passed (cum fructu)

>68: distinction (cum laude)

>77%: great distinction (magna cum laude)

>85%: greatest distinction (summa cum laude)

>90%: greatest distinction with congratulations of examination commission

For local program: based on the weigthed results of all courses (weighted by the credits)
