[beasiswa] [info] PhD student Philosophy & Technology - Delft University of Technology

Delft University of Technology Two positions for PhD student Philosophy &
Technology

*Job description*
The Phd student will work on one of the following projects:
1. In engineering, technological products that do not satisfy the functional
requirements laid out for them are said to malfunction. This notion of
malfunction plays an important role in engineering and is philosophically
intricate. The research project aims to survey modern engineering uses of
the notion of malfunction and develop these into a systematic account. A
more extensive project description can be downloaded

2. The literature on engineering design methodology describes many methods,
e.g., QFD, AHP, Kano, and Pugh matrices, which are recommended and applied
to choice problems in engineering design. However, a critical discussion and
assessment of these methods has been lacking. This research project aims to
take up this discussion and to critically assess these methods and their
applicablility to particular design problems. A more extensive project
description can be downloaded
