The energy transition requires engineers who can reason about complex renewable energy systems, diagnose faults, and work collaboratively in dynamic environments. Problem-Based Learning (PBL) is widely recognized for supporting such competencies, yet many engineering courses lack authentic contexts that …

"This expert article presents a comprehensive hydrogen training system that effectively bridges the gap between theoretical classroom knowledge and real-world industrial applications. The system integrates a PEM electrolyzer, hydrogen storage unit, fuel cell, and advanced PLC-based control platform to …

The University of Twente, Saxion University of Applied Sciences, ROC of Twente (vocational education), centre of expertise TechYourFuture and H2Hub Twente, in which various regional hydrogen interested corporations, like Demcon, VDL, HyMatters, KIWA, Cogas, Powerspex and Waterschap Vechtstromen, are …

"What sparks student motivation in their very first semester? At our university, all Energy and Environmental Engineering 1st year students design, build, and test a biomass cookstove. This playful challenge stimulates belonging, builds teamwork, and gives students a first taste of the competences they …

"The project ThüLeNa focuses on integrating sustainability topics into engineering studies across multiple universities in the German state of Thuringia. Asynchronous, digital modules offered as electives are complementing the pre-existing curricula, thus allowing for a state-wide exchange of knowledge, …

"The integration of e-mobility into the energy mix plays a crucial role in reducing CO₂ emissions, as transportation remains one of the largest contributors to global greenhouse gas output. By addressing urban mobility challenges and optimizing electric vehicle systems, this teaching concept links technical …

A modified genetic algorithm (MGA) optimization procedure, alongside time series machine learning (ML) classifiers, is proposed to minimize handovers in a digital twin-based visible light communication (VLC) system. Frequent handovers have a direct impact on the overall performance of the VLC system …

Reliability is a constraint of low-power wireless connectivity, commonly addressed by the deployment of mesh topology. Accordingly, power consumption becomes a major concern during the design and implementation of such networks. Thus, a mono-objective optimization was implemented in this work to decrease …

Today’s applied design researchers are where the action is. They have always operated as a catalyst of change: propelling and steering design and society into brighter futures. But now, more than ever, design researchers teamup with a broad range of stakeholders to get things done. They surround themselves …
