History

The faculty started in 1997 from a merger between the two existing faculties of the Delft University of Technology at the time: Technology and Society and Systems Engineering, Policy Analysis and Management.

The Faculty of Technology and Society (Dutch: Faculteit der Wijsbegeerte en Technische Maatschappijwetenschappen (WTM)) had been a joint faculty from the 1960s. [2] It originated in the faculty of General Science, which was initiated with the foundation of the Delft University of Technology in 1905. It initially contained physics, mathematics and social sciences. An independent physics department was founded in the 1920s, and the remaining faculty of General Science was split in two in the 1965. The Faculty of Technology and Society including philosophy, economics, skills, technology assessment, law and gender studies. Notable faculty members in those days were Joop Doorman, Henk Lombaers and Pierre Malotaux. The faculties main task was to provide service education to all the other faculties of the Delft University of Technology.

The Faculty of Systems Engineering, Policy Analysis and Management was built from scratch and started in 1992 with a new curriculum and research programme. From 1992 to 1998 Henk G. Sol was founding Dean of the new School for Engineering, Policy Analysis and Management. He prepared the merger, in 1998, into the Faculty of Technology, Policy and Management.
