| "Forensic Engineering: Learning from Failures" |
| "What do collapsed buildings, infected hospital patients, and crashed airplanes have in common? If you know the causes of these events and conditions, they can all be prevented. In this course, you will learn how to use the TU Delft mind-set to investigate the causes of such events so you can prevent them in the future. When, for instance, hundreds of hospital patients worldwide got infected after having gall bladder treatments, forensic engineering helped reveal how the design and use of the medical instruments could cause such widespread infections. As a result, changes were made to the instrument design and the procedural protocols in hospitals. Learning from failure in this case benefitted patient health and safety across the world. After taking this course you will have an understanding of failures and the investigation processes used to find their causes. You will learn how to apply lessons gained from investigating previous failures into new designs and procedures. The TU Delft Forensic Engineering mind-set involves recommendations for: Data collection ranging from desk studies (theoretical/predicted performance of structures) to field investigations (actual performance of failed structures) Hypothesis generation techniques for technical and procedural causes of failure Hypothesis testing for engineering aspects of forensic cases Reporting findings about the most likely causes and consequences Improving engineering designs based on lessons learned from forensic cases The course uses case studies from Building Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, and Biomechanical Engineering. All of these provide great examples that illustrate the approaches and highlight technical and procedural causes of failure. You'll find that not only is it crucial, but it's also exciting to learn from failures. This course is most useful for: Students who want to familiarize themselves with forensic engineering Building, aeronautical, biomechanical designers and engineers Forensic investigators, police, legal and insurance professionals Professionals from municipalities, government agencies or clients who are asked to perform internal forensic investigations This course has been designed by TU Delft's international experts on safety issues, failure investigations and forensics.

| "Le management" |
| "Véritable phénomène de société, le management couvre un territoire immense. Borné d’un côté par des théories aussi foisonnantes qu’hétéroclites et de l’autre par des pratiques indéfiniment variées, le territoire du management est d’une richesse inouïe. Cela dit, le management contemporain reste encore à inventer. Pour y parvenir, le gestionnaire d’aujourd’hui peut puiser dans l’histoire des théories du management. Il y trouvera toute une variété de solutions pratiques et de regards interprétatifs. Mais parce qu’il n’existe pas une telle chose qu’une théorie parfaite, le gestionnaire ne dispose que de solutions partielles et incomplètes. Surtout, sa pratique concrète doit nécessairement osciller entre deux pôles complémentaires. D’un côté, il doit faire preuve d’efficacité et pour y parvenir, il dispose d’un grand nombre de techniques administratives et de règles de gestion qui le conduisent alors à penser l’organisation en termes juridiques, stratégiques, structurels et opérationnels. De l’autre, il ne peut pas se contenter d’être un technicien qui ne viserait que l’efficacité formelle; il doit aussi être profondément humain et inscrire son action dans le tissu social d’une organisation et du coup entrevoir ses dimensions politiques, symboliques, psychologiques et cognitives. Ce cours de management s’adresse à celles et ceux qui sont à la recherche d’une meilleure compréhension des théories et des pratiques du management. Il fait une large place aux exemples tirés de la pratique et se réfère autant aux théoriciens qu’aux praticiens. Ce cours propose de regarder le management à travers trois regards complémentaires : celui du management formel qui s’appuie sur la raison formelle et se donne comme idéal l’efficacité; celui du management charismatique qui s’appuie sur le charisme et se donne comme idéal la création; et celui du management traditionnel qui s’appuie sur la tradition et se donne comme idéal l’harmonie. Les adeptes du management au sens technique se limitent au premier; les adeptes du leadership ne jurent que par le deuxième et, malgré la fascination que la nouveauté exerce dans l’univers de la gestion, la tradition persiste dans bien des organisations. Pourtant, le gestionnaire est toujours, d’une certaine manière, confronté à ces trois logiques. Inventer le management contemporain pour répondre aux défis des Temps présents consiste à combiner de manière originale ces trois logiques."

| "La gestion des conflits" |
| "Plus de 50 % des gestionnaires ont tendance à ne rien faire lors d’un conflit. En effet, la plupart des gens se sentent souvent démunis face aux situations conflictuelles. Il en résulte que les conflits s’aggravent et le climat de travail se détériore. Dans certains cas, les conflits peuvent mener à des plaintes pour harcèlement psychologique. Des conflits qui auraient pu être désamorcés relativement facilement deviennent des sources de coûts organisationnels élevés.Lorsque vient le temps d'intervenir pour désamorcer une situation conflictuelle, plusieurs questions se posent. Comment cerner le nœud du problème? Comment éviter l'escalade? Comment traiter avec les personnes difficiles? Comment éviter que la situation se répète? À cet effet, l'utilisation d'un cadre d'intervention peut s'avérer très utile.À partir des plus récentes recherches et des meilleures pratiques professionnelles, le cours propose un modèle d'analyse et d'intervention pour désamorcer les conflits organisationnels. Des stratégies concrètes sont proposées. De plus, études de cas et exercices pratiques permettent de tester l'application des principes du cours à des situations conflictuelles. En intégrant le modèle d'intervention et les stratégies présentées, les participants au cours seront en mesure de désamorcer les conflits avant que ceux-ci ne perturbent le climat de travail.Tout gestionnaire ou futur gestionnaire devrait suivre ce cours. Les études démontrent que les gestionnaires passent environ 20 % à 30 % de leur temps à gérer des situations conflictuelles. Comment être efficace si on ne sait pas désamorcer les conflits? De plus, l'habileté d'une personne à gérer les conflits a un impact sur ses chances d'obtenir une promotion."
