Consultancy and Creativity tools (UD 1050) / 5 ECT

Consultancy and Creativity tools In this course you will learn ins and outs of the consultancy practice from experienced consultants in the form of guest lectures and you will learn to apply the obtained knowledge and skills to a case study which will be determined. A consultant is often hired to bring in new insights and expertise that is not available in the organization hiring them. Therefore in this course also creativity tools are taught on how to come up with new ideas and insights. In particular we will draw upon the work of Edward the Bono with among others his six thinking hats, but also extensively dive into the methodology of TRIZ. Furthermore the newly developed methodology of INEFF's will be presented as another way of looking at a system and generating ideas. Obviously these tools are valuable in everything you will do in your education and future professional life, although not necessarily as a consultant. Next to the (guest) lectures a major fraction of time is dedicated to obtaining hands-on experience through teamwork on the case study.

You will understand the basics of climate change. You will understand the context of the energy transition. You will get insight into to design process of new technologies.

Innovation Lab; de Gelukkige Stad (UD1017) / 5 ECTS

Innovation Lab; de Gelukkige Stad Cities, the melting pots and pressure cookers of modern society work with collective solutions for their inhabitant’s basic needs. Shelter, safety and healthcare, for example, are streamlined at an urban scale. More abstract human needs, however, are surprisingly individual; it is one’s own business to live a meaningful and happy life. But as the city and neighborhood we live in, plays a huge role in what we do, who we know and where we have access to, we might have to explore happiness on a more collective and urban scale. This honoursclass is a joint project between Leiden, Delft and Rotterdam. With lectures on positive design (TUD, IDE), collective ownership (EUR, philosophy, public space (TUD, urbanism) and trust (LEI, philosophy), you see multiple perspectives on the topic. First you individually focus on your personal fascination, second you pick up a specific urban challenge in an interdisciplinary group of students.

This is a joined project between Erasmus University, Leiden University and TU Delft and gives place to a total of 24 students. The course will be given in Dutch.

Develop 21st century skills Critical Thinking (UD1054) / 3 ECTS

Critical Thinking Engineering endeavours are societally-geared and form a challenging combination of scientific knowledge, technical know-how and societal facts and values. Therefore, critical thinking is an invaluable asset for engineers. This course teaches the argumentative basics any academic engineer should master to develop a broad, reflective and independent point of view about the topics of their occupations. Essential engineering decisions cannot be based on calculations only but also need sound, qualitative argumentation based on partial knowledge. This requires more than mere logical or scientific reasoning, or even ethical deliberation; it requires skilled analysis of problem and goal areas, which recognizes different stakeholder frames with various implicit and explicit assumptions, and emphasis on prevailing facts, values and conceived problems. In this course you will develop critical thinking skills by discussing theory, working in small groups on practical assignments, questioning in Socratic style and practicing argumentation in debates and discussions.

- Critical thinking - Analytical thinking - Reflection - Discussing - Presenting
