Klaassen, R.G. (author), Bossen, R.H. (author), Milano, C. (author), Hellendoorn, J. (author)University students are asked to become all-round human beings, knowing how to be engaged in Engineering in the future, as well as wholly socialised and going through personal development steps. However, how and where are the students supposed to acquire these skills? Do we already have them in the Higher Education programmes and curricula?...conference paper 2023

Bohm, N.L. (author), Klaassen, R.G. (author), van Bueren, Ellen (author), den Brok, P. (author)Universities open their doors to society, inviting the complexity of the world to enter engineering education through challenge-based courses. While working on complex issues, engineering students learn to deal with different kinds of uncertainty: uncertainty about the dynamics of a real-world challenge, the knowledge gaps in the problem, or...conference paper 2023

Bohm, N.L. (author), Klaassen, R.G. (author), van Bueren, Ellen (author), den Brok, Perry (author)Purpose<br/>In collaboration with their home cities, universities increasingly develop courses in which students investigate urban sustainability challenges. This paper aims to understand how far-reaching the collaboration with urban stakeholders in these courses is and what students are meant to learn from the transdisciplinary pedagogies.<br/>...journal article 2023

Klaassen, R.G. (author), Bossen, R.H. (author), Sies, P.H.J. (author), Hellendoorn, J. (author)In this paper we studied the student’s perception of the acquisition of professional capabilities in Challenge based learning environments with a strong reflective component.<br/>The results show students feel the relevance of personnel development from the very moment the enter their master studies. However, they only truly acquire all the...conference paper 2022

Klaassen, R.G. (author), de Bruin, B.J.E. (author)Often industry expects university graduates to hit the ground running. One way to deal with this expectation is to offer our graduates opportunities to collaborate with the industry - a collaboration to acquire theoretical skills and acumen in engineering practices and how a business works. Challenge-based learning environments intimated by...conference paper 2022

Wong, L.Y.J. (author), Papageorgiou, E. (author), Klaassen, R.G. (author), van der Wal, N.J. (author), Menschaart, L.E. (author), Cabo, A.J. (author)In tertiary mathematics education for engineers (hereafter called service mathematics education, SME), there is a long-lasting controversy on what and how to teach. The goal of SME is to provide a base for engineering-specific courses and to develop mathematical competencies needed for academic success and professional practice. A leading...conference paper 2022

Klaassen, R.G. (author)Integration is key characteristic of Interdisciplinary learning and often also of Challenge based Education. The definition and operationalisation in Engineering Education is, however debated widely. In this study we explored the tacit knowledge of Engineering Lecturers in HE education by doing semi-structured interviews. It yields suggestions...conference paper 2021

(author)1.1 Background To educate future competent engineers, it is crucial to adopt teaching and learning approaches that support students in dealing with highly complex problems [1]. One strategy is to enhance service mathematics in higher engineering education by shifting from outcome-centered to competence-centered approaches [2]. This strategy...conference paper 2021

Klaassen, R.G. (author), Kothuis, B.L.M. (author), Slinger, J (author)Building with Nature (BwN) infrastructure designs are characterised by disciplinary integration, non-linearity, diverse and fluid design requirements, and long-term time frames that balance the limitations of earth’s natural systems and the socio-technical systems created by humans. Differentiating roles in the engineering design process may...journal article 2021

Gavioli, M. (author), Klaassen, R.G. (author), den Brok, Perry (author), Bisagni, C. (author)Structural Mechanics (SM) is a fundamental subject in engineering bachelor curricula. Since experimental investigations play a central role in the discipline, laboratory practice is often present in SM courses. Many instructors recognize in laboratory activities, not only a way to develop laboratory skills and appreciation of the scientific...conference paper 2020
