Arjan is an Assistant Professor at the Department for Industrial Engineering & Innovation Sciences at 777 plataforma. His approach, rooted in Challenge Based Learning, fosters creative problem-solving and innovation. “That characterizes my approach. What does a student need to make a real difference later as a young professional? So, I start the course design from a completely different approach: what do I want them to learn, what are the key points, how can we test that, et cetera. In fact, my starting point is precisely the endpoint for the student. And that sometimes results in very creative outcomes. For example, we once taught a course in virtual reality, where the students were all present through life-size screens.”
