Rooij, R.M. (author), Bossen, R.H. (author)In this paper, we take the position that teaching engineering itself is a design science. Engineering educators worldwide creatively design, implement, and evaluate new ways of teaching to facilitate the learning of their students and to respond to various societal challenges. Sadly, their teaching and course design discoveries often remain with...conference paper 2023

Miedema, Daphne (author), Taipalus, Toni (author), Aivaloglou, E.A. (author)Several educational studies have argued for the contextualization of assignments, i.e., for providing a context or a story instead of an abstract or symbolic problem statement. Such contextualization may have beneficial effects such as higher student engagement and lower dropout rates. In the domain of database education, textbooks and...conference paper 2023

Taipalus, Toni (author), Miedema, Daphne (author), Aivaloglou, E.A. (author)Querying a relational database is typically taught in practice by using an exercise database. Such databases may be simple toy examples or elaborate and complex schemas that mimic the real world. Which of these are preferable for students is yet unknown. Research has shown that while more complex exercise databases may hinder learning, they...conference paper 2023

Hamm, Andrea (author), Shibuya, Yuya (author), Cerratto Pargman, Teresa (author), Bendor, R. (author), Hansen, Nicolai Brodersen (author), Raetzsch, Christoph (author), Shoji, Masahiko (author), Bieber, Christoph (author), Hendawy, Mennatullah (author)The design of civic tech is often confronted with impediments, barriers, and a lack of resources. These and other causes may lead to the discontinuation and even abandonment of initiatives. Since seemingly failed projects are much more difficult to publish as articles, this workshop will provide academics and practitioners with a rare...conference paper 2023

Magnier, L.B.M. (author), Gil-Pérez, I. (author)The question of prolonging the lifetime of food packages before they are disposed of has largely been overlooked. Yet, reusing packaging could bring interesting environmental benefits. In this research, we take a consumer perspective and test whether returnable packaging for fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) has the potential to be adopted by...conference paper 2022

van den Berge, R.B.R. (author), Magnier, L.B.M. (author), Mugge, R. (author)Consumers’ expectations about product lifetimes have an influence on the actual lifetimes. Promoting repairability and a product lifetime label can potentially encourage consumers to extend product lifetimes. In this paper, we present in-depth insights in how consumers make estimations about product lifetimes, and their attitudes towards...conference paper 2022

Wallner, T.S. (author), Magnier, L.B.M. (author), Mugge, R. (author)This research investigates how a durable and attractive product appearance, the perceived contamination risk, and consumers' environmental concern influence the purchase intentions of refurbished products. Consumers often have lower purchase intentions of refurbished products because they associate them with lower durability and fear that they...conference paper 2022

Wong, L.Y.J. (author), Bayoumy, S. (author), Freeke, A. (author), Cabo, A.J. (author)One of the concerns in service mathematics courses, such as calculus for engineering, is students’ interest in these studies. Research suggests that engineering undergraduates’ lack of awareness about the importance of mathematics for their study success and for their careers contributes to their low motivation for mathematics. An approach to...conference paper 2022

Odayakulam Balasubramaniam, D. (author), Brown, P.D. (author), Calderon Gonzalez, A. (author), Mulder, I. (author)Circular economy has gained traction within companies resulting in many exploring new product and business model combinations. Yet, to transition towards a circular economy on a societal level requires going beyond new product and market-based opportunities. To enable societal level change, ecosystem-level innovations are important and so...conference paper 2022

Zhang, Ying (author), Janssen, M.F.W.H.A. (author)Government resources used for opening data and citizen engagement with open government data (OGD) are expected to have a mutual influence, but this has not been empirically investigated. Therefore, this paper investigates this mutual relationship by measuring both governmental resources and citizen engagement based on resource-based theory. The...conference paper 2022

(author)Citizens are expected to play a significant role to the current energy transition in Europe, such as through prosumerism and collective initiatives for energy efficiency. While there are many platforms for domestic energy analytics and for engaging citizens and transition stakeholders on energy topics, context-specific information is frequently...conference paper 2022

Jung, Ji Youn (author), Qiu, S. (author), Bozzon, A. (author), Gadiraju, Ujwal (author)Conversational agents are being widely adopted across several domains to serve a variety of purposes ranging from providing intelligent assistance to companionship. Recent literature has shown that users develop intuitive folk theories and a metaphorical understanding of conversational agents (CAs) due to the lack of a mental model of the...conference paper 2022

Lopez Reyes, M.E. (author), Mulder, I. (author)Participatory methods have been widely explored in the public sector to democratize city-making projects and foster civic engagement. Although well-intentioned, participatory processes still too often exclude citizens. The current study looks for elements enabling city makers to articulate an inclusive Participatory City Making process. Starting...conference paper 2021

Qiu, S. (author), Gadiraju, Ujwal (author), Bozzon, A. (author)Due to the coronavirus pandemic, remote work from home has rapidly become a necessity around the world, drastically changing the potential landscape for the future of work. Over the last couple of decades, microtask crowdsourcing has emerged as a viable means of carrying out remote online work to earn one’s living — an alternative to traditional...conference paper 2020

Qiu, S. (author), Gadiraju, Ujwal (author), Bozzon, A. (author)The rise in popularity of conversational agents has enabled humans to interact with machines more naturally. Recent work has shown that crowd workers in microtask marketplaces can complete a variety of human intelligence tasks (HITs) using conversational interfaces with similar output quality compared to the traditional Web interfaces. In...conference paper 2020

Purwanto, A. (author), Zuiderwijk-van Eijk, A.M.G. (author), Janssen, M.F.W.H.A. (author)Previous research assumes that poor quality of Open Government Data (OGD), OGD portals, and the services provided for OGD may result in reduced trust of citizens in OGD. However, studies that empirically test this assumption are scarce. Using the Information Systems (IS) Success Model as a theoretical basis, this study aims to examine the...conference paper 2020

Slingerland, G. (author), Lukosch, Stephan (author), Brazier, F.M. (author)Outdoor play activities are one of the ways via which children can acquire a sense of place towards their neighbourhood. Engaging children in the design of these activities through Participatory Design (PD) holds promise. However, knowledge lacks on the characteristics of place-making processes for children, the changing dynamics in these...conference paper 2020

Paulus, D. (author), Meesters, Kenny (author), de Vries, G. (author), van de Walle, B.A. (author)Humanitarian organizations are increasingly challenged by the amount of data available to drive their decisions. Useful data can come from many sources, exists in different formats, and merging it into a basis for analysis and planning often exceeds organizations’ capacities and resources. At the same time, affected communities’ participation in...conference paper 2019
