For applying students, we suggest you send us an [email](mailto:h.r.schipper@tudelft.nl?subject=pre-for-cem) in case you have found material online that proved helpful for you. -## Project team -The project was carried out by: -- Mehmet Kisa, MSc (project lead) -- Ahmed Farahat, BSc and (student assistant) -- Guus Meinema, BSc and (student assistant) -- Diana Portillo Arreguin, BSc and (student assistant) -- Dr. Roel Schipper (project initiator) - -and with the support of many professors who have provided reference materials and verified the selected sources. - -## Disclaimer -This is an experimental Jupyter Book, part of an educational research project. The first two columns with required prior knowledge were defined by the MSc Admission Committee Civil Engineering. The third column with Open Educational Resources (OER) is experimental and work in progress. These OER materials are provided as a service. Although we did our best to collect OER that reflect the required knowledge as good as possible, based on surveys among students and discussion with staff members, unfortunately we can not give a guarantee that the quality of all material is good. Suggestions are welcome via [email](mailto:h.r.schipper@tudelft.nl?subject=pre-for-cem-suggestions).

Special thanks goes to Caspar Jungbacker, who set up the JupyterBook and GitHub repository to make this book and website possible. Dr. Michiel de Jong as coordinator Open Education of TU Delft Library has been very supportive throughout the project. Dr. Timon Idema, Dr. Robert Lanzafame and ing. Ronald Ligteringen have kindly introduced us to the wonders of Markdown and Jupyter Books. Also many professors of our faculty have been supportive of the idea and have spent their valuable time in reviewing the OER.
