Smulders, J. (author)The devastation caused by Hurricane Ike in the Galveston Bay area (Texas, United States of America) proved the necessity of an improved water defense. Multiple flood risk reduction studies were undertaken. The Texas A&M University of Galveston proposed the Ike Dike, a fortification of the coastal spine to prevent a storm surge from entering the...master thesis 2014

Koepsell, D.R. (author), Brinkman, W.P. (author), Pont, S.C. (author)Human research ethics has developed in both theory and practice mostly from experiences in medical research. Human participants, however, are used in a much broader range of research than ethics committees oversee, including both basic and applied research at technical universities. Although mandated in the United States, the United Kingdom,...journal article 2014

Alberda, W. (author)This design project has been done in order to give an outlook to the fourth generation smart fortwo, regarding its overall package and exterior design. The project investigates the core qualities of smart and shows how they can be translated into a concept for 2020 and beyond. The concept that was created – the smart 45XS – is based on four ...master thesis 2013

Coenders, J.L. (author)This paper presents two novel open source software developments for design and engineering in the built environment. The first development, called “sustainability-open” [1], aims on providing open source design, analysis and assessment software source code for (environmental) performance of buildings, structures and infrastructure. The aim of...conference paper 2013

Coenders, J.L. (author)Interoperability, the ability of different software applications to communicate with each other, is one of the biggest challenges for efficient and effective use of advanced software technology in structural design and engineering. In practice, the problem of interoperability exists very much for the end-user since agreement on common standards...conference paper 2012

Doorn, N. (author), Kroesen, J.O. (author)In this paper, we discuss the use of role plays in ethics education for engineering students. After presenting a rough taxonomy of different objectives, we illustrate how role plays can be used to broaden students’ perspectives. We do this on the basis of our experiences with a newly developed role play about a Dutch political controversy...journal article 2011

Van den Boogaard, T. (author)In recent years, various types of plate-like timber materials have been introduced to the building industry, offering a wide range of new possibilities. Due to a lack of knowledge on these possibilities, in the Netherlands, the material is not used as often as could be expected. To explore the boundaries of timber engineering, in this thesis, it...master thesis 2011

Van den Hoven, J. (author), Lokhorst, G.J. (author), Van de Poel, I. (author)When thinking about ethics, technology is often only mentioned as the source of our problems, not as a potential solution to our moral dilemmas. When thinking about technology, ethics is often only mentioned as a constraint on developments, not as a source and spring of innovation. In this paper, we argue that ethics can be the source of...journal article 2011

Vermaas, P.E. (author), Carrara, M. (author), Borgo, S. (author), Garbacz, P. (author)In this paper we disambiguate the design stance as proposed by Daniel C. Dennett, focusing on its application to technical artefacts. Analysing Dennett’s work and developing his approach towards interpreting entities, we show that there are two ways of spelling out the design stance, one that presuppose also adopting Dennett’s intentional stance...journal article 2011

Roeser, S. (author)Engineers are normally seen as the archetype of people who make decisions in a rational and quantitative way. However, technological design is not value neutral. The way a technology is designed determines its possibilities, which can, for better or for worse, have consequences for human wellbeing. This leads various scholars to the claim that...journal article 2010

Vuralhan, Z. (author)Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a popular industrial microorganism. It has since long been used in bread, beer and wine making. More recently it is also being applied for heterologous protein production and as a target organism for metabolic engineering. The work presented in this thesis describes how S. cerevisiae may be used as a metabolic...doctoral thesis 2006

Van Renssen, A.S.H.P.

This hampers data communication between systems and causes costly data conversion processes. Various solutions have been proposed. However, those solutions either have a...doctoral thesis 2005
