The optimization of ASML's Training Center regarding efficiency and effectiveness

The objective of this project is to develop a suitable design proposal for the future context of ASML’s Training Center, substantiated by research and stakeholder input. Since training demand will increase also with the introduction of new systems, the company entails the creation of a product that will support this dynamic environment by...

Analysis and Control of Pilot Gaze Behavior to Support Basic Flight Training

It has been shown that expert gaze behavior can be used to enhance training for novices, among others in the field of laparoscopic surgery. The research in this paper focused on the effect of changing pilot gaze behavior on flight performance and detection task performance. Two groups of novices were shown a recording of expert behavior,...

Design Thinking for Novices: Designing a Corporate Training to Embed Design Thinking in Organisations

In this project, executed by graduation student Joris Blok from Delft University of Technology, a multi-day course has been designed that allows Design Thinking to be embedded in organisations successfully. The course teaches the Design Thinking process, as well as a set of essential mindsets for Design Thinking novices. Furthermore, the course...

Foxpat: Training simulator for Cementless Oxford Partial Knee Replacement

The learning curve of novice surgeons takes about 25 surgeries to be proficient at the knee replacement procedure. So it is not just enough if we design efficient and more ergonomic surgical tools, it is also important to provide a learning platform for them to get better before they operate on a real patient. Although many training simulators...

Stakeholders as Researchers: Empowering non-researchers to interact directly with consumers

An investigation into the trends of user experience research revealed that businesses and stakeholders will increasingly value human insights, and hence, as research becomes more mainstream, “organizations will continue to develop new tools to democratize those practices and adapt to company needs (dscout, 2018).” This trend was further...

Immersive Safety & Security Training

This project explores the potential of virtual reality (VR) as a training tool at the crew safety & security training (CSST) department of the Royal Dutch Airlines (KLM). With a research and prototype driven approach, a VR simulation and its integration into the training programme are designed. This simulation aims to improve stress...
