The use and adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in our society is growing rapidly (Maslej 2025). Alongside this growth, the importance of specific ‘competencies’ that users need to effectively interact with and critically evaluate AI is becoming increasingly important (Long en Magerko 2020). This …

Self-regulation learning strategies are vital for academic success in blended learning. This study compares explicit and implicit instructional methods in fostering and retaining these strategies among university students. A randomized controlled trial with 100 s-year students at a Dutch University of …

Wood is an increasingly demanded renewable resource and an important raw material for construction and materials. Demands are rising, with a growing attention for re-use and upcycling, opening up opportunities for new business models, empowered by the use of digital design and technologies. A KPI framework …

Supplemental instruction, also known as Peer Assisted Study Sessions (SI-PASS), is a well-established form of peer learning that has been implemented in higher education institutions across the globe and that coincides with learning gains for participants. While the effects on learning gains have been …

This study evaluates the performance of a counter-rotating dual rotor wind turbine (CR-DRWT) with 2 m2 rotor radius equipped with a double rotational armature in an open jet wind tunnel. With only one similar-sized design previously assessed in a wind tunnel, this study offers valuable validation material …

This paper investigates the role of conversational AI in improving the quality of decision-making across different stages of the process. Drawing on an experimental study involving 113 students in Dutch higher education, participants engaged in a simulated business challenge using three approaches: no …

Abstract The upcoming EURO 7 regulation requires significant CO2 reductions in road freight, targeting towing vehicles and semitrailers. Semitrailers face a 10% reduction goal, with limited gains from aerodynamic tweaks and low rolling resistance tires, making electrification the most promising solution. …

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 …

Welkom bij de laatste nieuwsbrief van het lectoraat Diversiteitvraagstukken van 2024. We kijken terug op een mooi onderzoeksjaar waarin we, samen met interne en externe partners diverse mooie projecten en onderzoeken hebben afgerond. En dat in een periode waarin in de wereld en in de Nederlandse samenleving …

The inefficiency of maintaining static and long-lasting safety zones in environments where actual risks are limited is likely to increase in the coming decades, as autonomous systems become more common and human workers fewer in numbers. Nevertheless, an uncompromising approach to safety remains paramount, …
