TU/e Terminology list

Dutch/English terminology list of Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) - June 2021

The data on this page comes from the document available from the following page: https://studiegids.tue.nl/career-skills/taalcursussen-en-academic-writing-skills/english-language-toolbox (‘TUe Terminology List - June 2021.pdf’)

Thanks to Kitty Brussaard for alerting me to its existence! See: https://www.proz.com/kudoz/english-to-dutch/education-pedagogy/7162222-university-entrance-diploma.html

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 and is under constant development. The aim is to issue updates at least twice per year.

The Terminology List TU/e includes 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 are regularly added to, but particularly Section 2 of this list is the part of the list that will be expanded on in the future.

A number of the Dutch terms in Section 2 are used nationally. However, there is no single national authority or consensus on an official translation into English for many terms used in higher education. 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 various English terms where possible.

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. 4TU 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).

How to deal with capitalization and academic degrees

The Associated Press Stylebook (AP) recommends no capitals when referring to degrees in general terms (bachelor’s, master’s, doctorate, associate degree) but always capitalizing specific degrees (Bachelor of Arts, Master of Science), whether or not they directly precede or follow a name.

Examples:

• Orlando is thinking about getting a Bachelor of Science degree.
• Orlando is thinking about getting a master’s degree.
• He introduced Orlando Cruz, Bachelor of Science.

There is agreement, however, that abbreviations of academic degrees are to be capitalized. CMOS recommends omitting periods unless required for tradition or consistency (BA, BS, MA, MS, PhD), but AP prefers retaining the periods (B.A., B.S., M.A., M.S., Ph.D.).

Our recommendation is to use lower case in reference to degrees in general and to use capitals when a specific instance is referred to:

• The TU/e offers many bachelor’s and master’s programs. (general)
• The TU/e offers a Master’s Program of Operations Management and Logistics. (specific)

Translation or retention of Dutch academic titles:

The complication of translating academic titles lies in the following:

In Dutch drs. means doctorandus, but in English Drs. or drs. is the plural of Dr. (so two doctors). The easiest way to resolve this is to put drs. In italics to indicate a Dutch academic title.

In English it is common practice to only use the highest academic title:

• prof.dr.ir Jansen -> Prof. Jansen
• dr.ir.Jansen -> Dr Jansen

The title ir. is problematic in any case as it is a foreign abbreviation, so it would either require italics ir.

Jansen or would have to be translated as Jansen, MSc.

The only other alternative is to retain the Dutch titles, use their conventions and simply put them all in italics to indicate the Dutch academic title system:

• Prof.dr.ir. Jansen

This solution can have advantages if the Dutch academic title mr. (meester) is also involved. Obviously, that can easily be misinterpreted as Mr. (mister) in English. The disadvantage of retaining the Dutch academic titles is if you have a mixed group, where some people have Dutch academic titles and some have titles from abroad.

Update March 2015

Although the list is regularly updated through the translation input we receive, March 2015 marks a point at which we have added a considerable number of new entries through close comparison with the term list provided by the CEC. In addition to these new entries, we have made a start with providing further contextualization for various terms (including either bracketed contexts or example sentences where appropriate). To improve the applicability of the terminology list, we aim to further extend the list by defining more formal (e.g. legal or formal academic contexts) and less formal contexts (e.g. web pages, press releases, or information for the general public). As a living document, new definitions and contexts will be added based on the input we receive. If you have any comments or spot any glaring omissions, please feel free to contact us.

Update October 2017

As a result of the TOO operation, the fact the 3TU has become 4TU, and several other sources of input at the TU/e, the October 2017 update contains many new or corrected entries. As always we are much obliged to everyone who contributed new terms to the list or pointed out changes we were unaware of. If you spot an error or simply wish to have a term added to the list that always trips you up, please contact vertalen@tue.nl with TU/e Terminology List in the subject line.

Update May 2019

With the consolidation of ESA operations, a list of the various groups within ESA has now been added to the list. Through collaboration with DFEZ a more specialized terminology has been included as a separate list for entries related to specialized financial terminology relevant to the TU/e community.

Update July 2020

With the introduction of the TU/e Language Policy 2020 (as of January 1, 2020), English has become the official working language of the TU/e. This has brought to the fore that some entities need an update for their name in English. Besides that, there is an on-going discussion about the new English abbreviations that need to be implemented. Once decisions have been finalized, they will be included in this terminology list. All ratified changes the TU/e Language Center has been notified of have been processed. For any errors you spot or name changes we are presently unaware of, please contact vertalen@tue.nl with TU/e Terminology List in the subject line.

Terms referring to the TU/e as an organization

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.

Please note: English abbreviations for names were not introduced at TU/e until the TU/e 2020 Language Policy. Names are currently under review and abbreviations have not been ratified. For now the Dutch abbreviations are still listed but will be replaced as soon as we receive notification. Please contact us vertalen@tue.nl if you have a name change/new abbreviation
