Spin-of for campus education: Blended Education
8. Policies Faculty TPM Open & online education
• Focuses on concrete and complex societal problems
(mobility, safety, infrastructures)
• Focuses on solutions to important societal issues
• Has a strong multidisciplinary approach
• Takes a multi-actor perspective, including governments
businesses, research organizations and other stakeholders;
• Has an international orientation
• Focuses on a huge professional field of activity (career, LLL,
rapid developments)
• Spin-off research
9. O2O focus for next years: Engineering &
Leadership
• Need for more focus
• Focus will become Leadership & Engineering & Energy (TU-Umbrella)
• Leadership will include RI
• Design session April, 12 , 2016
• Challenge: capacity and business model
18. We have to deal with many ethical dillemas
‘Trolley problem’:
https://en.wikipedia.org
/wiki/Trolley_problem
19. The trolley problem Some food for thought:
Who is responsible in case of an accident with a self driving
vehicle?
• Driver as in the current case?
• Car manufacturer?
• Company providing sensors or the software
• Road authority?
20. Ethical concern: the ‘ trolley’ problem
4 dead?
How to
decide?
Algorithms?
Accident
unavoidable but
AV has two
options
1 dead?
23. 3. The Surf project: what we hopefully will
deliver
• e-book ( sneak preview)
• Re-use of MOOC in our on-campus education: experience
• Experiments with MOOC - added services
• Repository with online materials for internal and external use
(Ethics and Engineering in all educational programs)
• Publication online materials for external public (platform)
integrated with student projects (minors)
• Online course for Kivi (30,000 members/engineers)
• Online course Safety & culture
• (Online course Ethics for CEO’s)

• Ethics
• Safety and risks
• Frugal innovations
• Management of innovations
• Value Sensitive Design

27. Some general reflections
• Ethics and engineering more and more integrated in all studies but in many different ways.
This requires flexibility and online materials to meet the demand
• Market online courses is not as self-evident as expected, blended elements are important
• Organisational structure within faculty if we really want to be a ‘big player’ is still subject to
debate
• Huge debate: certification. CEU’s for professional education (not EC’s)

But innovation is not a good in itself.. Pesticides with DDT and building materials with Asbestos [SLIDE 5] were once seen and sold as wonderful innovations, but now they are associated with death and disease. Thumbscrews and atom bombs once had an appeal, but they don’t look like very good ideas today. [SLIDE 6]. Often one and the same technical artefact can be used for both good and bad purposes. This is what we call ‘the dual use’ aspect of technology.
