Events from 2018

Would you like to learn more about innovations in engineering education innovations at TU Eindhoven? And more specifically about Innovations in the context of the Innovation Space? Then visit the third (educational) Innovation Day at TU/e on Wednesday 31 January 2018. Goal of this day is to inspire teachers and support staff to improve or innovate our teaching practice. There will be ample time and opportunity to talk about education, educational innovations and to get acquainted with new tools and tricks. During the day several workshops about education will take place at the Innovation Space, such as student guidance in project education, feedback in education and adapting to change. After the first workshop round, the innovation market can be visited. At the innovation market, last year's TU/e innovation projects present their results and new projects present their plans for the upcoming year. A moment to share experiences and ideas to improve our education! 

The second National Conference on Interdisciplinary Education (NIE) will take place on January 30, 2018, at Eindhoven University of Technology. During this conference teachers and researchers from universities in the Netherlands and Flanders will share their experiences, practices, expertise, and ideas on interdisciplinary education in the domain of higher education. The conference is hosted by 4TU.CEE. Tickets for the conference are available now.

CELT and 4TU.CEE invite you for a lunch colloquium on 'Professional development for Higher Education teaching staff'. Dr. Monika Rummler (Centre for Scientific Continuing Education and Cooperation, TU Berlin) will present and discuss how TU Berlin is improving teaching and learning via continuing professional development of teaching staff.

At TU Berlin bachelor studies include lectures with a massive number of students between 500 and 1500 students attending. In what way is it possible to keep these masses engaged, on task and making the most of their studies. Monika Rummler of TU Berlin will share how they prepare their teaching staff. She will share insights into the most frequently encountered problems during these classes and what one can do to deal with those problems.

In this interactive workshop Monika Rummler of TU Berlin  will share a challenge-based model of teaching and learning of staff with “teaching change agents”. The challenge-based model specifically focuses on the daily challenges teachers face in their work. Challenges that cannot be addressed immediately, but need addressing immediately. Challenges for whom no-one is available on the spot, but your peer next door who is also swamped in his/her research activities.

Come and join in the discussion of future proof Engineering Education with MIT and 4TU

A 1-day workshop designed to support lecturers who struggle with procrastinating tendencies of their students. It will provide you with useful information and strategies that will support you in helping students to develop the mind-set and the capacity to start and finish their projects on time!

 A 1-Day Training on: 'Inclusiveness for better study results' 

Learn about the relevance of cultural intelligence in international environments.

4TU.CEE welcomes all TU/e and 4TU employees engaged in teaching and learning at the TU/e Innovation day 2018. This day is organised yearly to inspire teachers to innovate their education. This year the possibilities of remote and virtual labs in education will be explored.

On the 26th and 27th of November a workshop is held on interdisciplinary education by Prof. Siddhartan Govindasamy and Prof. John Geddes from Olin College.

Rapid changes in technology trigger new jobs and updated engineering study programs in many countries. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) asked Ruth Graham to survey the global state of the art in engineering education as input for their own MIT educational reform plan NEET. Results were published in Spring 2018 and will be presented by Ruth in this session together with the challenges that come with high quality programs, such as how to combine challenge based project education with rigorous attention for engineering fundamentals? In the discussion the Twente Education Model can be compared with these global trends.

On November 29th 2018, the ICAB (Innovatiecentra Academisch Bètaonderwijs) Conference will take place in the Designlab on campus at the University of Twente. All 4TU staff are invited to participate.
