Samenvatting

This project is grounded in three complementary theoretical perspectives: digital twin technology, material trade-off theory in electric motor design, and interactive learning theory.

Digital twin theory provides the conceptual basis for linking system modelling with dynamic representation, supporting the design of an environment in which users can explore parameter-driven system behaviour. Material trade-off theory defines the core engineering content of the project, explaining how variations in critical materials influence performance indicators such as torque, efficiency, and thermal characteristics. Interactive learning theory informs how these relationships can be structured into an exploratory learning experience, emphasizing user engagement, feedback, and intuitive understanding.

Together, these three perspectives support the design of a learning system that integrates modelling, system representation, and user interaction. Rather than producing final engineering results, the project applies these theories to guide the development of a coherent and educationally meaningful system design.
