31 March 2026 | 12:45–13:45 | TU Delft Teaching Lab
We warmly invite the education community to join our upcoming reflective session about portfolio trajectories to foster responsibility and value awareness in engineering education.
In this session, we will reflect on a concrete example from practice: the portfolio trajectory developed at Mechanical Engineering. Pim van der Male will present this case and walk us through how the portfolio approach has been implemented to support students in developing responsibility and value awareness throughout their studies.
Together, we will explore how portfolios can serve as a tool for students to recognize, articulate, and reflect on values in their academic and professional development. We will also discuss the challenges and opportunities that emerge when integrating such approaches, and what lessons can be drawn for other educational contexts at TU Delft.
By examining this specific case, we aim to uncover insights that can inspire Design for Values in education more broadly, whether you are already working with values in your teaching or are just starting to explore the possibilities.
This reflective session kicks off a new meeting series in which educators share, discuss, and learn from each other’s practices on Design for Values across the University. The series is organized by the Education SIG of the Delft Design for Values Institute in collaboration with the TU Delft Teaching Academy.
The goal of these sessions is to create a space for open exchange, bringing together educators, support staff, and students to reflect on what works, what doesn’t, and how we can strengthen value-thinking in TU Delft education together.
