About JIP

Real business cases, real experience

The Joint Interdisciplinary Project is an exceptional opportunity to incorporate real interdisciplinary teamwork into your Master. You will work together with passionate fellow students and companies in technical innovation ‘in the niche’ on a business case to create innovative impact. Teams will be able to think beyond their field of expertise, deepen their analytic and creative skills all the while sharing their disciplinary knowledge. Students will get the guidance required to realize the change and get a taste of both success and failure to become resilient in the face of obstacles. The projects are focused on integrated design or research assignments, in addition to value adding, societal acceptance and engineering ethics.

In JIP 2020 max. 200 students will have the opportunity to take part in the Joint Interdisciplinary Project. Interdisciplinary project teams of each four to five selected MSc students will work together full time for ten weeks starting Q1 2020.

Companies 2020

The participating companies 2020 will be announced in April 2020. Each year a 'company pitch event' is held so companies can present themselves and students can ask questions. Because of the CORVID-19 virus this event will be replaced by an online platform where companies will post videos and students can ask questions. Over the course of 3 days the companies will answer the questions. Keep an eye on the JIP social media to be kept up to date about the online platform.

Flying V

Aviation is facing its biggest challenged since its inception: environmental sustainability. There is no silver bullet to making flying environmentally sustainable. Radical aircraft configurations, alternative fuel, changed operations and a modified pricing policy need to come together. The Aerospace Engineering Faculty of TU Delft has presented its radical Flying-V design promising a 20% reduction in energy consumption. Hydrogen is a serious alternative to kerosene with zero CO2 emissions. This case centers around the implementation of a hydrogen-based aviation ecosystem with the Flying V configuration at its core.
