Abstract
The University of Twente started an educational programme on Industrial
Design Engineering in 2001. The structure of the programme builds on project-led
education, mainly to immerse students quicker and more profoundly in the field of
expertise they are educated in. Given the impact of educational projects of
considerable scope, complexity and scale on the overall programme, adequate
balancing of the learning aims and implementation of projects and courses is
essential. Based on the criteria for the programme, a reference architecture is devised
that guides the way in which the programme is arranged. By means of an example,
depicting one of the projects, the implementation of project-led education is shown.
From this, the way in which students and teachers/tutors have changed their roles
and demeanour is assessed. In this respect, it is depicted how experience and external
measures have influenced the programme. Moreover, the consequences of
introducing project-led education are discussed with respect to the vision of the
overall educational programme.
