At KABS, we believe and hope that you will face one of your most fantastic years, with many fun and good experiences. With the year as a vector comes responsibility, and KABS therefore has certain expectations of you.
First of all, we hope that you will be part of the start of your studies to make a difference for the new students. Therefore, we expect you to work seriously with the assignment and that you provide a satisfactory piece of work throughout the entire period.
Your contract and PF's guidelines require you to:

• Participate in OPtur
• Participate in the education days
• Participate in first aid course
• Arranges and host rustrip
• Participates in at least one student council meeting and then invites your russes along
• Arrange cake meetings

Here you must help the new starters by:

• Introduces the new students to PF, PF's Study Council and Clubs.
• Keeps the new students informed about relevant events.
• Ensures that the new students, through the start of their studies, have a positive experience of PF
• Ensures well-functioning cake-team of newly started students from the relevant studyline

In addition, we expect you to:

• Prioritizes the vector role highly
• Be welcoming and behave decently towards the new students
• Actively participates in vector meetings
• Design the rustrip on the preparation trip during the summer holidays. (Date to be agreed with your cross-vector team)
• Arranges and holds intro day
• Participates in and/or organizes social events with your russes during their first time at DTU

As a studyline-vector you get a rusteam, also called caketeam. In order for the new students to be ready for the hardships that the study offers, weekly cake meetings are held by their vector. Cake meetings are about getting relevant information passed on to the russes. E.g; what is DTUinside in relation to the Course Base, the Study Planner and so on, when is the cabin trip planned, where can you print your submission and what else seems relevant to your team.

Every week, KABS prepares a list of things that can be mentioned at the cake meetings, which is sent out a few days in advance. It is expected that the list is read through BEFORE the cake meeting, and that you as vectors examine the various things so that you can answer any questions. In addition, each week you must consider whether there are extra things that are relevant to the russes that week, this could be things like: follow-up on points from the last meeting, tutor arrangements (if the studyline has a tutor arrangement), TDR, social events and so on. It can be a good idea to have a list on your computer, on your mobile or in your pocket, which you continuously update with things you have to remember to say, do and follow up on.

Your studylineKABS will also inform you about studyline-specific points, should there be any. If you discover that an important point is missing, you must of course send a message to your studylineKABS, so that everyone gets it (KABS also makes mistakes once in a while…).

It is important for KABS that you as vectors are aware that holding cake meetings requires preparation and that it cannot just be done in the last 10 minutes, before the russes show up. At first you may find that the russes just sit and look at you and wait for you to tell them what they need to know. Therefore, it is nice for both yourselves and for them that you are prepared so that there is no awkward silence. When you have talked about the important points of the day, you can add some of your own elements and when the meeting is over, make sure you spend time sitting and enjoying yourself with the russes- they love it when you show interest in them and listen to what they have to say.

However, others will also experience having a very active rus-team where the talk goes, and it can be a challenge to pass on the important information. Often the cake meetings are very much what you make them. If you set it up to be information meetings, the russes will typically be quiet and just look at you, but if you set it up to be fun/well-being meetings, they will typically talk more. Therefore, it is also important to remember that there is not just one right way to hold a cake meeting. It is entirely up to you as vectors to find out how you yourself feel best about holding the cake meetings and to feel in your russes what they need. This also means that cake meetings can contain much more than just information and eating lunch - who knows, maybe the meetings can be spiced up with a quiz, interesting guests (for example student councils, professional organizations or other relevant people), fun games, a completely new structure or what you can come up with now!

These things are expected as minimum preparation for cake meetings:

• The checklist from KABS for important things to say
• Consider whether anything else needs to be added
• Think about the order in which things should be said
• Always take the professional events first, otherwise they will be drowned in parties
• Prepare yourself for the points so that you can answer clarifying questions (and sell the events well!)
• Consider whether all points are relevant to your russes (if something only addresses some studylines or to a campus the russes don't go to, or if the team shows no interest in partying, you may not need to mention 10 Friday bars and so on)
• Consider what else you can ask the russes about (holiday, party, exams, etc.)

If you are prevented from holding a cake meeting for a week, report it to your studylineKABS and arrange whether you need a stand-in.

On both studyline and cross-vector teams as well as the weekend teams, there are a number of responsibilities that different vectors must take on. You can easily have several positions of responsibility as a vector. In addition, some extra tasks may appear on an ongoing basis and different departments may have different traditions and associated responsibilities that you take on. Below, the most common items are briefly reviewed, to give you an overview of what you may be responsible for.

In vector teams, you will typically have some shared expenses. Eg. most people eat together at the vector meetings, and have expenses for costumes and gadgets on OPtur. Here it is an advantage to have someone who has an overview of what has been laid out. A document has been prepared which you can use to your advantage if you choose to take this post.

Regnskabsapps

If you want to make it as easy as possible for everyone to follow what money has been spent on the team, it might be smart to get everyone on the vector team to download an app. This can both handle all the calculations for you and ensure that everyone has an opportunity to follow what is being transferred and that everything has arrived.

If you already have MobilePay, then WeShare is a really smart and easy solution. This app lets all participants:

• Add their outlay
• Add outlays for others
• Correct continuously
• Pay continuously
• Indicate who must pay for a given outlay

It's all paid directly with MobilePay to the right users – it could hardly be easier.

Otherwise, you can also choose another app, SplitWise, which does many of the things above, but does not allow you to pay the various users directly. It's a bit more work, but still saves you a lot of unnecessary calculations. Splitwise i Google Play

Both apps are available for both Android and iOS.

Hint

• Get the others to write on the ticket who posted it and what the reason was. Then it is easier to keep track of everything when it has to be entered.
• Use sites as http://www.hvemskylderhvem.dk or Excel-ark to keep track of who posted what items. In this way, everyone can keep track of what has been put out for and whether it is the right amount. In addition, it is easy to monitor transfers.

• Asking everyone to transfer a jointly accepted amount to a disposable account is a very good solution, so that no one ends up putting out much more than others. When the account is empty, if there are more expenses, you can charge a new amount. This saves the financial manager a lot of work after August.

The Quote responsible person writes down all funny or naughty quotes, which you can then print and hang on the rustrip. You therefore have to be good at spotting when there is a good quote.

Hints

• Remember to write down the quotes.
• Use a shared Facebook chat to write quotes. Anyone can write quotes and you don't have to think about backups.
• Alternatively, Drive, Dropbox or similar can be used for quotes.

Guidelines for the start of Bachelor's studies are an excerpt from PF's bylaws - New in the joined council. These bylaws have been drawn up by the joined council (FR), which is Polyteknisk Forening's highest body. The guidelines must be followed without exception!

Here is a link to the section relevant to vectors - Retningslinjerne for bachelorstudiestarten 2018

By „involved in the Bachelor's study start“ is meant KABS, vectors, rus-counselors, buddies (from Medicine and Technology), kitchen staff, as well as official guests at study start events.

In the paper, the term „to be with“ is used, by which is meant a kiss, sexual contact or any kind of romantic relationship.

An organizer is defined in this document as vectors and KABS.

* Vectors must participate in first aid education, education day, all education activities on OP-tur and participate in rustrip.

• Vectors must be able to take the necessary responsibility at any time for any study-start-related events. This means that you are at least need to be able to fetch the responsible person if necessary.
• Vectors must participate in at least one study council meeting before the start of studies and subsequently offer their study council to cooperate in introducing the russes to their study council and its work.
• Vectors are required to arrange and hold a weekly meeting with their studyline russes until the end of the russes' first semester. They are also required to offer the russes two meetings during the russes' 2nd semester.
• Vectors are responsible for arranging a minimum of two social events for the entire studyline russes during the russes' 1st semester, where at least one event does not involve drinking. The vectors must also aim to participate in these events. Within the studyline, at least one professional event must be held, as well as an all-day event with the purpose of networking, where a cabin trip can include both.
• Vectors must aim to participate in all studyline and cross-vector meetings during the spring and any preparation trips.
• Vectors are expected to a certain extent to participate in PF events during the russes' 1st semester, but are not required to participate in the planning of these.
• Vectors are expected to contribute to a positive sense of community across the disciplines at DTU.
• Vectors must not abuse their vector role in any way.

Polyteknisk Forening (PF) is the student organization at DTU, and looks after the students' interests academically, socially and politically. PF is run by volunteer DTU students who have the desire and courage to help shape the framework that DTU provides for our studies.

The jointed Council (FR) is the highest authority in PF. The joint council can be somewhat compared to the board of PF of a company. This is where the overall decisions, as well as the visions for the association, are made. The joint council consists of two ordinary members and one deputy from each department, who are elected in their professional council. Each year FR elects 4 students and 4 external members to make up the Business Council (FRR). FRR makes decisions and formulates long-term visions for PF's business branches, which must be approved by FR. The foundation for PF's structure is the professional councils. There is an Academic Council associated with all bachelor's programs in the civil engineering program and courses in the graduate engineering program. Meetings are typically held once a month. At the Professional Council meeting, the activities, of both a professional and social nature, that take place in the department are discussed. It is a good idea to arrange for the new starters to participate in a council meeting to show how easy it is to have an influence on one's studies.

This is the provisional structure, but there are extensive changes on the way in the Professional and Political area.

Every year, PF nominates students from the academic councils to sit on the Institute Study Boards (ISN) at all DTU's departments. This is where the courses are organised, evaluations of courses are reviewed and it is found out whether something can be done better. In PF, experience is exchanged to ensure the quality of the institute study boards and their work. Political PF is a major work within national student policy, and represents DTU students' position and attitudes on topics such as the progress reform and dimensioning of study areas. In addition, PF also works to, in collaboration with DTU, provide an appropriate general framework for their various educations.

In addition to coordinating the academic work at the institutes, UPR also forms PF's positions on national political issues, such as progress reform and dimensioning, and how such reforms are best implemented at DTU. The Education Policy Group (UPG) acts as the business council for the UPR. This means that they are responsible for drawing up agendas, calling meetings and ensuring that discussions take place on an informed basis.

The professional councils also elect members to the social committee, who work with, among other things, housing conditions, SU and physical framework for the students. In addition, the social committee also organizes various events for the students, e.g. the annual exercise runs. PF also owns the S-huset and through this organizes a lot of events for students. In addition, PF also collaborates with the various Friday bars at DTU.

The board is responsible for the day-to-day running of PF. You can always find one or more of them in the S-huset, and if ever should it happen that they are not in the S-huset, they are hardened e-mail users and can be reached this way or on their mobile phones.

The PF hallway is the center of most of the activities that take place in Polyteknisk Forening.
Many of the groups and clubs that exist under PF can be found in the hallway, such as the „Phantasy Dome Gaming Club“. In addition to meeting rooms, club rooms and a kitchen, the hallway also houses BEST, IAESTE, DSE and the Buddy scheme, with which PF collaborates. Meeting rooms and kitchen can be booked with the secretary in the PF secretariat.
On the Ballerup campus, the PF hallway is behind the S building. Here there is a secretariat, meeting rooms and DSE.
It is a good idea to show the PF hallways to the russes.

The PF secretariat Lyngby is located in the S-huset, by the spiral staircase down to the Cellar Bar. Here, materials can be purchased for various types of report binding. In the copy room, color copying is also available for a fee. The PF's secretary can be found at the secretariat. If in doubt for anything PF-related, you can go to her.
In Ballerup, the secretariat is located in the PF hallway and is open Wednesday from 9-13.

The S-huset is on both campuses, a great place to bring your cake-group or rusteam. Here they will be presented with a different DTU than they see at the lectures, with people there having fun, talking and de-stressing, and there is a good chance that they will run into someone from their rustrip. S-Huset is also suitable for studyline meetings and guidance meetings, as everyone can meet in a relaxed and cozy environment, where you can talk over a beer or soft drink. In addition, it is possible to play pool, fussball, backgammon and more in S-huset.
The cellar bar is open from Monday to Friday.
In addition, there is the PF cafe in 306. Here you can buy, among other things, various sandwiches, salads and drinks in the café, and possibly enjoy a beer after a long day of studies.
Verners Kælder functions as an S-hus driven Friday bar in Ballerup and is open every Friday.

In this section are some of the most important organizations you as a vector need to know about in order to guide your russes.

Students and a full-time supervisor are employed in the study guidance, all of whom have qualifications in guidance. Their job is to help current and future students with advice and guidance about the study through personal conversations. In the study guidence, you can have a personal interview with an older student who is subject to confidentiality. You can always contact us anonymously.
Some beginners initially have study problems and can need to talk to others about it. The study guidence can, among other things, help with and provide information about:

• Personal conversations
• Help in connection with exemptions
• General questions about the study
• Study abroad
• Merit transfer of points from other educations
• Study planning
• Leave of absence
• Admission requirements and application

The study guide is open for personal inquiries every Monday until Friday at 10:00 - 14:00 and telephone inquiries every Monday to Friday at 09:00 - 15:00. It is open throughout the 13-week period, in the exam period and during the 3-week period, but is closed in July and during the Easter, autumn and Christmas holidays. The study guidence can also be contacted by e-mail (studvejl@adm.dtu.dk).

Up until the start of studies, many administrative things must be arranged, most of which are handled by AUS. If everything proceeds optimally, no problems should arise, but it can e.g. it happens that one of the new stundents changes his mind in his choice of bachelor's studyline or has not received a student card. In these cases, you must contact AUS.
AUS must be contacted if there are problems with or if information is desired on the following points:

• Change of bachelor's studyline
• Student card
• Password for the DTU network
• SU
• Course registration
• Grades
• Scholarship application
• Merit transfer
• Leave of absence
• Study requirements and rules
• Dispensation application
• Stay abroad

AUS regularly publishes announcements on the Portal regarding e.g exam registration, registration for a bachelor's project or if this happens changes in the current study regulations.

Studenterrådgivningen is a free offer for students who may need personal conversations with a professional adviser. There is an opportunity to speak to a social worker, a consultant and a psychologist, all of whom are subject to confidentiality, and the student is guaranteed full anonymity. Students are welcome to approach with all kinds of problems, which could concern:

• Economy
• Housing
• Isolation and loneliness
• Parental problems
• Relationship problems
• Social insecurity
• Loss and grief

In addition, there is plenty of information on their website about study techniques, exam anxiety, group work and much more.
They don't have a department at DTU, but if you don't want to move to Copenhagen, they have telephone advice from 11.00-12.00 every day. There is also an anonymous mailbox for DTU students, which can be found via their website under the DTU department.

Student priest Jørgen Bo Christensen is employed at Lundtofte Church and has the DTU Lyngby campus as his daily work area. The priest is mainly used for two things: Personal conversations and teaching.
You can also participate in a study group, or you can agree on an individual course of reading and discussion based on a theological or philosophical text.
The priest holds a service on Sundays either in Lundtofte Church at 10.30 or in Geels Kirkesal at 10.30 am. He is also available for students who want baptisms or weddings. The conversations are some of what he is used for the most. They can be one-off, but the most common is that it involves conversations over one to three months. The conversations can be about personal and existential things such as stress, grief, bereavement, faith, loneliness, anxiety, difficult choices, low self-esteem, etc. To ensure close contact with the students, Jørgen has an office at DTU-Lyngby in the Student Center, where he has office hours from Tuesday to Friday.
If you want to use the priest to give a presentation in connection with drug counseling seminars and the like, you are welcome to contact us. Jørgen has taught for many years, i.a. he has taught Philosophy Ethics at DTU.

The Technical University of Denmark (DTU) has been an independent institution since 2001, and as a result has an administration that is more reminiscent of what you find in the private business world than at other educational institutions. This means that DTU must make money on an equal footing with other companies, but DTU also receives money from the state.

DTU is made up of a number of institutes and centers as well as DTU's central administration, all of which in principle have independent management and finances. DTU is managed overall by a central board, consisting of external business leaders, representatives from the staff, lecturers and students at DTU. Day-to-day management is handled by the directorate, headed by the principal. In collaboration with the Academic Council, rules and guidelines are set for DTU.

The Academic Council is DTU's highest body and oversees DTU's academic affairs. The Chancellor discusses important presentations on strategy, organizational changes and finances with the Academic Council, unless the Board of Directors has decided otherwise for special reasons. The Academic Council consists, in addition to DTU's rector, as chairman, of 8 academic staff and 3 students.

DTU's executive board is responsible for the day-to-day operations, and with the chancellor as chairman of the Academic Council, the executive board has direct influence on how the decisions made by the Board of Directors are implemented. In order for you as a vector/supervisor to have a sense of who is being referred to when student politics are discussed, pictures of the executive board are reproduced below.

Diploma engineering and bachelor students admitted on 1 July 2014 or later must register for at least 60 new ECTS points per academic year. Enrollment for 60 ECTS points per year must therefore take place, regardless of whether the student needs to pass courses from previous semesters. Registration for an optional course/optional course is binding and means that this course must be passed in order for the student to complete the education. The student has the opportunity to choose a new optional course/optional course if this happens within the post-registration period for courses. Registration for a course is then binding and will be included as a compulsory course in the student's study plan, cf. above. The student can apply for a dispensation to replace the optional course with another if there are special circumstances.

More information about study rules can be found at:
http://sdb.dtu.dk/ Here you will also find study rules and information about the individual courses.

The civil engineering program at DTU consists of a 3-year bachelor's degree (BscE) and a 2-year master's degree. From September 2015, DTU offers 16 different bachelor's programmes. Once you have obtained your bachelor's degree, you are qualified to start a master's degree. The bachelor's part therefore does not provide a direct opportunity to enter the labor market. The bachelor's part consists of 180 ECTS points which are divided into 4 groups, which together form the flagship model:

For most majors, the Science basic subjects consist of Mathematics 1, Physics 1 and Basic or General Chemistry, as well as a few extra major-specific days. These help to form the core academic basis of the education.

The Technological core subjects are direction-specific subjects which form the core of the relevant bachelor's program and provide prerequisites for following one or more master's programmes. Exactly which apply within the individual direction can be found on DTU's website under „Education“ and then „Bachelor“, where you can find the different directions. Here, under „Study course“ you can find „Study plan“, which indicates the subjects.

Projects and general subjects provide the necessary tools that you will use as an engineer. These include Engineering work and study introduction, both of which are in the 1st year of study. In addition, the subject project, the Theory of Science of the Engineering subject, as well as the bachelor's project belong to this block. All the subjects mentioned are compulsory.

Optional subjects exist so that you can choose the subjects you are interested in yourself. It will also be the start of the specialization that you will later complete in your master's degree. This still gives a great deal of freedom of choice during the bachelor's programme, with a wide range within natural sciences and the more studyline-specific subjects. The optional subjects can be used to change the focus of the education, so that you can qualify for a master's degree to which the original bachelor's degree does not immediately give access.

At the start of the course of study, there are most subjects in the group of basic science subjects. The number of basic science subjects is continuously decreasing, while there is a greater and greater degree of optional subjects. Projects and general subjects take up a lot of space both at the beginning and at the end of the course of study, while the Technological line subjects generally take up a lot of space in the middle of the study.

The education for the diploma is standardized for 3.5 years (Apart from Export & Technology which is 4.5 years and Arctic Technology which is 4 years), including half a year of internship. The internship can either be taken in a Danish or foreign company.

The first 3-4 semesters are scheduled in advance. In the 5th semester, you will most often do an internship. In the 6th and 7th semesters, you have the opportunity to choose your own subjects and to specialize in the area you find interesting. In the 7th semester, a Bachelor's project is written (15-20 ETCS points)

If, as a graduate of Diploma in Engineering, you do not feel that your student life is over, you have the option of getting a superstructure in the form of a master's degree. The master's program takes two years to study, and is completely optional in terms of choosing courses. A candidate is chosen within the 28 general areas, and after choosing a candidate, you take courses (on the bachelor's degree) in order to get a direction designation. There are additional entry requirements that must be taken. If you do not have these subjects, you must take them during the elective semester of the Diploma programme.

In recent years, quite a few of DTU's lecturers have been involved in identifying what they think are and should be the most important elements in a student's mindset. That is what new students at DTU must develop during the first year of study. This has resulted in 7 focal points:

1. Enthusiasm and drive

• Dare to plunge into deep water, work with open problems and acquire new and unknown knowledge.
• Commitment.

2. Creative Problem Solving

• To identify, define and formulate a problem that can be solved in engineering terms.
• Being able to see the connection between what you learn in different courses.
• Solving a problem with the tools of engineering, in a creative synthesis of different disciplines.
• To find/choose the solution that is optimal in relation to the given criteria/conditions/resources.

3. Reflection

• Critical thinking and ethical considerations.
• Knowing that there is not always only one way to solve a problem – and therefore not always only one conclusion either.

4. Teamwork

• To participate constructively in group work and to understand and use one's own and others' competences.
• Be open to diversity.
• To enter into a division of labour.
• Giving feedback on other people's work.

5. Prioritization

• Prioritizing and solving problems when there are limitations - e.g. limited time or limited resources.
• Spending time at the studio!

6. Personal attitude

• To take responsibility for one's own learning, to plan and structure one's work and „to learn to learn oneself“.
• Inviting in relation to others, contributing to group work, etc.
• Familiarizing yourself with the study's framework, rules and processes.
• To be proud to be a student at DTU.
• To be able to see oneself solving the multifaceted problems the world will present.

7. Your own bid…

• A seventh focus point that you can choose yourself in addition to the above
