Foreword
This list was created to provide clarity concerning the official names in Dutch and English for the most
important bodies within the TU/e, the most frequently cited functions and most frequently used
terminology. The aim of this list is to provide a TU/e standard.
The list is not static. It is a second version of the new Terminology List TU/e. It is not exhaustive and will
be developed further to incorporate other relevant terms. The aim is to issue updates twice per year.
This constitutes the update for September, 2013. This first version already included the terms that
describe TU/e as an organization (Section 1) and terms frequently used at, but not necessarily exclusive
to TU/e (Section 2). Both sections will be added to, but particularly Section 2 of this list will be
expanded in the future.
A number of the Dutch terms in Section 2 are used nationally. However, there is no one national
authority or consensus on an official translation into English. These terms have therefore been
researched by the authors of this list and the most appropriate English term decided upon accordingly.
Where possible recognized authorities were consulted, such as the Ministry of Education, Culture and
Science (OCW). Discussions continue between the Dutch universities to gain consensus on the English
terms.
Sources
The sources of this list are varied. The former TU/e Terminologielijst, the Nuffic glossary and a number
of glossaries on other Dutch university websites have been consulted. In the search for appropriate
American-English terminology, American-English translators have been consulted, as have the websites
of American universities with a strong technological base, such as MIT.
Spelling
It is TU/e policy to use the spelling rules of American English. This list reflects that preference. The
spelling of a number of terms in section two retain their British English spelling as these terms have
been determined by other entities, e.g. 3TU Centres of Excellence (not Centers ) and TNO: Netherlands
Organisation for Applied Scientific Research (not Organization).
Using capitals
In section one of this list there is an indication of where capital letters are used in English as this may be
different to the capitalization used in the Dutch language. Terms marked with * maintain their capitals
if used in lists or in official letters, or in conjunction with the name of the person to which a function
belongs. If these terms are used in running sentences, there is no need to use capitals.
Using abbreviations
As a rule the Dutch abbreviations of TU/e terminology should be used to indicate any entity or institute.
The abbreviations should not be translated. For example, Eindhoven University of Technology must be
abbreviated with TU/e and not EUT.
How to deal with dates in American English
In American English it is common to place the month before the day followed by a comma and then the
year. Example: October 5, 1992. As an alternative, an article can be inserted before the day and the
numeral becomes an ordinal. Example: October the 5th, 1992. Please note that some numerals do not
take th to become an ordinal. Examples: 1 -> 1st , 2 -> 2nd , 3 -> 3rd (i.e. first, second, third)
