With the farewell of the now retired Aldert Kamp, TU Delft has installed a new Delft 4TU.Centre for Engineering Education management team. The team consists of prof. Marcus Specht (leader), dr. Remon Rooij (co-leader) and dr. Renate Klaassen (programme coordinator) and is eager to work with you on enhancing engineering education at TU Delft.
“We like to actively engage the TU Delft community and are ready to support teachers who would like to innovate and/or research their education. We welcome interaction on project ideas and invite you to participate in inspiring events to exchange ideas and upgrade your skills and knowledge on topics such as interdisciplinarity, entrepreneurial learning, innovative learning spaces. And last, but not least we will work closely with our 4TU.CEE colleagues in Wageningen, Eindhoven and Enschede to jointly innovate engineering education for tomorrow’s engineer. Our (e-mail) doors are wide open.”
The new 4TU.CEE Delft team invites you to connect and contribute to the 4TU.CEE community. If you are searching for colleagues with similar interests or want to receive regular updates on funding opportunities, you can join the 4TU.CEE@TUD community in MS Teams.
About the 4TU.CEE Delft team
Marcus is professor for Digital Education and also leads the Leiden-Delft-Erasmus Centre for Education and Learning (LDE-CEL). Remon is associate professor Spatial Planning & Strategy, and leads the Research-on-Education-Innovation programme at the faculty of Architecture & the Built Environment. Renate has been the programme coordinator for 4TU CEE since 2014 and is educational researcher at TU Delft. She also participates in the taskforce teaching and learning van CESAER (European association of universities of science and technology). All three will be working closely as a team to achieve 4TU.CEE’s ambitions for the coming years:
- Help faculties to further improve our Delft engineering education. We will have to cope with accelerating technological and societal changes, and constantly make our engineering programmes up-to-date and future proof at the same time. This kind of agile engineering education will not only impact (required) teaching and leadership staff competencies, but also course and curriculum (re)design: both contents and pedagogies.
- Inspire staff to develop their teaching competencies, and encourage faculties in advancing careers via education: teaching excellence, educational leadership and research-on-education. As development in educational excellence is pivotal for the success of the future of our TUs. We will support “educators as innovators” to embed educational innovation in the core curriculums and combine evidence based research with high quality teaching, learning, and learning.
