Lunch lecture TBA
Last week TBA visited us to give a lunch lecture about the inner workings of the company and the process they go through when a client approaches them with a problem. TBA is a company that specialises in simplifying the operations of ports, terminals and warehouses, so that all of their clients can deliver to their respective customers safely and efficiently. They accomplish this goal by combining world-class, end-to-end, integrated software where they can simulate entire ports and terminals with professional consultancy solutions for the entire lifecycle of ports. The students were very interested in what it is the employees do precisely and how the meetings with clients work. It was a very insightful lecture showing us a different side to port design than we are used to.
PostNL lunchlezing
On the 30th of November Iris from PostNL visited the faculty of 3mE at the TU Delft to give a presentation to a group of interested TEL students about the company PostNL and her role within the company. After getting to know Iris a little she enthusiastically spoke about her graduation project at PostNL. It was very interesting to hear how a graduation project at PostNL is executed. Also the fact that her assignment gave her the opportunity to cooperate closely with the execution area appealed to the students as well. At the end of the presentation projects from other graduates were discussed as well. The discussion of different subjects gave the students a good insight in what kind of company PostNL is and what kind of problems they encounter. All in all it was a very informative and interesting presentation which all students enjoyed!

After this general introduction to the company Mr. Toetenal and Mr. Alberda elaborated on some of the projects they have worked on. The lecture was finished with a more detailed discussion of blockchain. Alberda explained that the blockchain structure will not only find its application in the financial world but also creates new opportunities in other fields.
