T.E.S.T. is looking for members for the 2023-2024 team!

The student team T.E.S.T. is participating in the SensUs competition (in September 2024) with the goal of designing and building a biosensor. You will collaborate with enthusiastic students from various technical backgrounds. You will also work closely with various companies, organizations, and experts in the fields of biosensors, healthcare, and business. During the competition, you can gain laboratory experience, as well as experience with electronics and hardware, while also developing your soft skills such as pitching, presenting, reporting, and meeting in a professional setting. There are also plenty of opportunities to expand your network, which can be helpful in finding a future internship or graduation project!

We are organizing an information lunch for all interested students on October 18th in Matrix Light Assembly from 12:40 to 13:20, with free pizza!! Here, we will provide more details about what a year at T.E.S.T. looks like and why it's so enjoyable to be a part of T.E.S.T. Registration is available through this link.

Hope to see you there!

See the post below on the academic calendar redesign!

At the TU/e, we aim to reduce the study pressure of students and the work pressure of
academic staff. One of the opportunities for improvement is the schedule of the academic
calendar and we highly value the perspective of students on this project. I need students' input
to judge if redesigning the academic calendar is desirable and how this could be done to best
suit their needs. The data obtained in this project will be used to provide the TU/e Executive
Board with advice for an improved design of the academic calendar. The results will also be
discussed in my master thesis project under the supervision of dr. ir. P.A.M. (Ad) Kleingeld
(TU/e, IE&IS).

I will ask to complete a questionnaire that will take about 20-25 minutes followed by a small
discussion/interview (5-10 mins) to get a better understanding of students' needs and wants.
All students will get a 10 euros voucher from a school cafeteria for their participation. All
bachelor, premaster and master students from all studies are welcomed in this research. There
will be questions about how they experience your study load and your
preferences in the academic year. There is no preparation needed. You can reach out to me
via my e-mail (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) so that we can arrange a time to meet and fill in the
questionnaire and have a small discussion. We can meet with the volunteers starting from
now.
