Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

Curriculum Elements to develop transversal skills in engineering students.

As part of this project several curriculum elements have been developed and tested by TU Delft to allow students to (further) develop their transversal skills.

Each of these elements can either be embedded in a course or in some cases even be used as a stand alone course. For each element we have provided as much documentation as possible so that it will be easy to implement.

The following curriculum elements are available:

Communicating is more than just talking: Chinese Whispers with a Twist

Are you sure you understand what I mean? This element teaches students to communicate clearly, to listen, and to ask appropriate questions with an engineering twist to the Children’s game of Chinese Whispers.

Life Long Learning: the power of reflection

Being able to reflect on one’s own learning is a critical skill to develop for Life Long learning.
