  • Innovative Teaching and Learning Methods
    The Future of Engineering Education Parallel Sessions I Innovative Teaching and Learning Methods Time: 2 April 2020, 2pm – 4pm Venue: Congress Centre Darmstadtium Abstract The session will start with presentations of a wide variety of innovative teaching and learning tech- nologies and methodologies. The talks deal with virtual reality (VR) and open source technology, vir- tual exchange programs between partner universities, students solving tasks in interdisciplinary teams, and train the teacher in a way that they can awaken enthusiasm among students for technical issues. After the presentations, all participants will actively be involved to discuss the influence these new methodologies and technologies have on the organization as a whole and the student and teacher specifically. Among other questions: Does the use of new technologies influence the skills teachers need to adapt to these new technologies? Which social skills are necessary to train the stu- dent to face the societal challenges of the future? Keywords and concepts Virtual reality, New Technologies in Teaching, Motivational Methods Contributors Professor Albert Albers (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, KIT) Professor Albert Albers has been head of the IPEK – Institute of Product Engineering since 1996. After his studies of mechanical engineering at the University of Hannover from 1978 to 1983, Albers had an assistantship at the Institute of Machine Elements and Engineering Design and obtained his doctorate in 1987. From 1986 to 1988 Albers had a position as a senior engineer at the Institute of Machine Elements and Engineering Design at the University of Hannover until he started his career in industry at LuK, a company of the Schaef-er-Group with focus on clutch- and gear-systems.

    University of Twente: The entrepreneurial university of the Netherlands through hi-tech and human touch Enschede, Netherlands 1 General Information Title University of Twente Pitch The entrepreneurial university of the Netherlands through hi-tech and hu- man touch Organisations University of Twente and Kennispark Twente Country The Netherlands Authors Arno Meerman (University Industry Innovation Network) Nature of Collaboration in R&D Lifelong learning Commercialisation of R&D Joint curriculum design and interaction results delivery Mobility of staff Mobility of students Academic entrepreneurship Student entrepreneurship Governance Shared resources Supporting Strategic Structural mechanism Operational Policy Summary The University of Twente (UT) together with the Kennispark Twente, are key drivers behind regional innovation and growth and the renaissance of the Twente region. From its foundation in 1961 during difficult local economic conditions, UT has grown into a world-class entrepreneurial university through its top-to-bottom innovative and entrepreneurial institutional cul- ture, its human resource strategy (i.e. hiring entrepreneurial and innovative staff members) and its strong regional network. Their activities have led to over 100 new start-ups per year on average, over 1,000 spin-offs still opera- tional to date, and in excess of 20,000 jobs created. The UT spin-offs also ac- count for 10% of the fastest growing high-tech companies in the Benelux countries. All of these factors, together with the number one Valorisation University Award in the Netherlands in 2015, highlight why UT has a world- wide reputation for entrepreneurship. 2 Introduction & Overview 1. BACKGROUND The University of Twente (UT) is a public higher education institution located in Enschede (The Neth- erlands) with approximately 3,000 staff members, 9,700 students, and degree programmes offered in engineering, social and behavioural sciences.

Het onderwijs kende een nieuw hoogtepunt met ruime interesse. Het onderzoek floreerde als nooit tevoren met tal van innovatieve en toekomstgerichte activiteiten. Wat betreft de wetenschappelijke dienstverlening werden alle records gebroken : nooit eerder was er zo een grote interactie met de (Europese) industrie en nooit eerder was de impact naar die industrie zo uitgesproken. De internationale uitstraling van de textielactiviteiten van het textielcentrum was nooit zo groot. Dit werd bevestigd door de deelname aan het congres AUTEX 2019 in Gent onder de titel Textiles at the Crossroads www.autex2019.org Meer dan 300 deelnemers uit nagenoeg 50 landen gaven het beste van zichzelf en bewezen dat textiel­ onderzoek een multidisciplinaire activiteit is, gedragen door een grote mondiale familie met zin voor innovatie en aandacht voor duurzaamheid op het hoogste wetenschappelijke en technologische vlak.

  • 2019 USF Nexus Initiative (UNI) Awards Request for Proposals
    1 2019 USF Nexus Initiative (UNI) Awards Request for Proposals Program Goals and Description The University of South Florida Nexus Initiative (UNI), administered through the Office of the Provost at USF, offers tenured/tenure-track and full-time research faculty members the opportunity to collaborate with global and national partners in research, scholarly, and innovative efforts with the potential to significantly advance current human understanding and address pressing societal needs. UNI has the following goals: (1) to enhance the research and scholarly activity of faculty members at USF by enabling a variety of partnerships that provide both intellectual and infrastructure stimulus to catalyze and extend ongoing work at USF; (2) to provide avenues for the exploration of joint research and scholarship with external partners and initiate activities currently not possible at USF; (3) to enable opportunities for developing sustained research and scholarship programs with high-impact researchers at other institutions through the submission and funding of joint grant proposals; and (4) to create opportunities for our best graduate students to expand the breadth of their research and scholarly experience through participation in multi-investigator (potentially interdisciplinary) inquiry. Proposals are requested for two avenues offering awards responsive to the broad goals of UNI: The USF Faculty Global Collaboration Initiative offers tenured/tenure-track and full-time research faculty members UNI Awards of up to $15,000 in annual support for travel and expense funds to collaborate with a colleague at an institution of higher education outside the U.S. to engage in research and scholarly activities.

  • Viewed and Recommendations Were Given, These Conclusions Are Written Down in Chapter 7
    University of Twente EEMCS / Electrical Engineering Robotics and Mechatronics Image-Guided Control of a Continuum Robot S.L. (Sander) Janssen MSc Report Committee: Prof.dr.ir. S. Stramigioli Dr. S. Misra J. Jahya, MSc R.J. Roesthuis, MSc Ir. E.E.G. Hekman November 2012 Report nr. 030RAM2012 Robotics and Mechatronics EE-Math-CS University of Twente P.O. Box 217 7500 AE Enschede The Netherlands ! Abstract This study presents the development of a continuum robot which could serve as part of a surgical robot. Continuum robots, because of their dexterous nature and continuous shape are suited for minimally invasive surgery. Their inherent flexibility also reduces the risk of damage. Continuum robots have these properties due to the absence of discrete joints. Previous research in the domain of continuum robots has focused on developing kinematic and dynamic models. These models attempt to take in account as much of the inherent imperfections such as friction and fabrication errors as possible. This study instead focussed on showing that a simple kinematic model based on the ideal behaviour of the robot is sufficient when combined with a closed-loop controller with 3D position feedback. A continuum robot and its actuator have been developed. The continuum robot was tendon actuated. It consisted of a flexible nitinol backbone with four disc shaped tendon guides fixed equidistantly to each other to it. Two designs of robot were created: A 160 mm length robot with 5 mm radius tendon guides and a 160 mm one with 10 mm radius tendon guides. The actuator was fitted with four motors to pull the tendons and had a translation stage for an insertion movement.
