Selection and development of innovative design alternatives: Ethical, social and uncertainty issues

Innovative engineering design shapes the development of novel technologies and is ethically as well as socially relevant, because it affects what kind of possibilities and consequences will arise. A major challenge in engineering design work on innovative technologies is the multitude of uncertainties in the form of known unknowns, unknown...

Slagvaardig met ICT: Ontwerpprincipes voor leeromgevingen die professionele digitale competenties van hbo-studenten versterken

Inleiding De vraag is of onderwijsinstellingen voorzien in leeromgevingen die verlangde competenties voor digitalisering versterken. Meerdere auteurs menen dat dit niet het geval is. Anders dan bij sectoren die eerder grensverleggende ICT-innovaties ondergingen, is het grootste deel van de processen in en rond leeromgevingen in het onderwijs,...

Sand-mud erosion from a soil mechanical perspective

‘Wetlands’ in tidal lagoons and estuaries are among the most valuable ecosystems in the world. Managing these systems requires both a thorough knowledge and validated tools to predict their behavior and development. An important morpho-dynamic process herein is the erosion (‘pick-up’) of the bed, which are in inter-tidal areas often composed of...

The DSOL simulation suite: Enabling multi-formalism simulation in a distributed context

In this thesis the development of a java-based, simulation environment is presented. The core concepts are to support multiple decision makers in a distributed context with multiple continuous and discrete formalisms. The environment is named DSOL and is published under the open source LGPL licence
