Educational Innovation at Eindhoven University of Technology
The world of engineers is evolving rapidly and education continuously needs to innovate to prepare our future engineers for new societal and technological challenges. Although our staff is highly innovative and skilled, they sometimes lack the time and resources to implement educational innovations. To support this, TU/e offers various funding opportunities for educational innovation projects.
INNOVATION CALL 2024
The Innovation Call enables TU/e teaching staff to conduct pilots and evidence-based experiments in areas like challenge-based learning and technology supported learning. These projects are intended to support the TU/e vision on education and contribute to educational advancements through funding by the CBL and BOOST! programs.
More details on the 2024 innovation call and how to apply can be found on the Call for Proposal page.
ORIGIN OF THE FUND
Projects in the BOOST! and CBL programme are enabled by the TU/e plan on quality agreements and funded from the studievoorschotmiddelen (study advance means). The program en projects are contributing to themes like intensive and small scale education with the overall aim to improve the quality of learning.
BE THE OWNER OF YOUR OWN STUDY (BOOST!)
BOOST! is one of the programs within TU/e to transform from teaching to learning. This six-year program aims to make education at TU/e more flexible and personalized with the help of digitalization. BOOST! runs from 2019-2024 and consists of a substantial amount of pilots that are linked to themes in the field of educational innovation enabled by learning technology.
CHALLENGE-BASED LEARNING (CBL)
Started in 2020, the program of CBL contributes to the theme 'more intensive and smaller-scale education', through the design and implementation of the educational concept 'Challenge-Based Learning'. The CBL program facilitates and monitors various pilots and experiments in order to collect information on how to shape CBL as an educational concept.
