Expanding Opportunities for Philippine Architects Through CREM: A qualitative comparative multi-case study approach on adapting business models that integrate corporate real estate management services used by Dutch architects in the Philippine context

Architects contribute to the cultural, social, economic, environmental, and technological aspects of society. However, architects face several challenges due to high levels of urbanization, lower financials for projects and the emergence of new professionals and contracts, that lessen the scopes of architects. Architects in developing nations...

The Robotic Programming Lab: Designing an interactive experience at Museon

The Netherlands is one of the forerunners in the fields of international scientific research, education and innovation.

Global Migration Dynamics: An Exploratory Study Integrating Multi-Resolution Modeling Techniques with Semiautomatic Data Acquisition

This study approached migration-related problems from a global perspective. The inter- connected nature of migration means that migration problems accumulate and intensify throughout the world. To capture these effects, a data-rich model component was devel- oped for global migration dynamics.<br/>To that extent, this study has developed the...

Teaching Computational Thinking - What do our educators need?

In the Netherlands a task-force, supported by the institute of curriculum development, Stichting Leerplan Ontwikkeling (SLO), has been assembled to define core objectives and learning goals for digital literacy that are to be finalized by 2019. The SLO defined digital literacy with the following four elements: ICT basic skills, computational...

The Internet is the invention that stands at center of this new age, it connects billions of people around the planet in a single network. The apps on our smart phone...

Programming for Interactive Prototypes

Goal In recent years, designers have increasingly started to make experiential prototypes containing electronics within the design process. This has been enabled by the rise of several microcontroller boards and software tools that decrease the complexity and cost of making such a prototype, allowing designers to construct these prototypes...

Programming for Interaction Designers

Programming is a powerful tool for interaction designers, which provides significant opportunities in creating and testing new concepts. Designers and more specifically interaction designers go beyond the basic button & led interaction, but generally stay below production level coding and complex professional systems. However, programming for...

A Stealth Learning Approach: Teaching Programming Concepts by Building Games

Building games in introductory programming is seen more often. Although it motivates pupils to learn, less is known regarding learning results. In this study the learning results on programming concepts in introductory programming are described. The study involved one group of 30 pupils in the age of 12-13 from secondary education in The...

Trailing for a better alternative - Logistic optimisation of dredging projects

Determining the way to make a reclamation project with many excavation areas or borrow areas, and several pieces of dredging equipment at minimum costs takes too much time to do by hand. A linear programming application is made to support the allocation of excavation areas and pieces of equipment to reclamation areas. Such an application was...
