EEE Awarded Two Open Education Stimulation Fund Grants

• Monday, 24 March 2025

The Electrical Engineering Education (EEE) section has recently been awarded two grants from TU Delft’s Open Education Stimulation Fund (OESF). These grants aim to enhance education through innovative teaching methods and materials, supporting TU Delft’s commitment to open education.

The first project, Dr. Seyedmahdi Izadkhast (EEE) was awarded with the TU Delft Open Education Stimulation Fund, "Enhancing BuddyCheck: A Toolbox for Teachers to Analyze Student Peer Evaluation Data," led by Dr. Seyedmahdi Izadkhast, Dr. Bahareh Abdi, and Dr. İlke Ercan (EEE), will develop practical tools to improve the experience of bachelor Electrical Engineering students in project-based courses. The project involves close collaboration with Dr. Prem Sundaramoorthy (Aerospace Engineering) and Dr. Gillian Saunders (Mechanical Engineering). This initiative is set to create open-access resources and training materials to support fairer and more effective peer evaluations, fostering better teamwork and learning outcomes.

The second awarded project, "Embodied Engineering: Enhancing Learning and Well-Being Through Somatic Practices," is led by Dr. Jagoda Cupać from the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Geosciences (CiTG) and Dr. Roel Schipper, in collaboration with Dr. İlke Ercan and EEE mentorship coordinator Riëlle Hondelink. This project integrates body-awareness techniques into the curriculum to improve student well-being and enhance their educational experience. The practices will be integrated into EEE's mentorship program, with collaboration across the CiTG faculty.

The Open Education Stimulation Fund supports projects that emphasize accessibility, inclusion, and educational innovation. These two successful proposals demonstrate EEE’s ongoing commitment to enhancing educational quality and student experience through collaborative and practical approaches.

Congratulations to all project members!
