Faculty Council
Where the education committee acts as the advising body in matters concerning the programme, the faculty council fulfils that role for the faculty of Engineering Technology (ET). The difference to the Education Committee is that the Faculty Council does have the right to consent when it comes to certain matters such as the Education and Examination regulation (EER). It is a body with more legal power. The Faculty Council consists of five student members and five staff members. Student members are chosen annually through election. The Faculty Council assembles twice a month for meetings, one of which is attended by the dean. Besides educational matters the Faculty Council discusses research and handle matters that concern the entire faculty such as the climate control system in the Horst.
Currently the faculty council is being reformed. More information about the Faculty Council can be found at www.utwente.nl/ctw/fr
