Biografie

Since 2014 I have held the position of Associate Professor at Delft University of Technology within the Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment (ABE) , section Spatial Planning & Strategy (SPS). I have a strong interdisciplinary background: a doctorate in Spatial Planning within the TRAIL Research School for Transport, Infrastructure and Logistics, and an M.Sc. degree in Urbanism and Real Estate & Construction Management. My interests focus on:

  • the future of engineering education
  • the development, renewal and evaluation of academic curriculums in the field of the built environment;
  • academic skills for architects/’bouwkundigen’
  • strategic spatial planning in regional development and urban transformation

From 2012-2020 I was the programme leader for the bachelor programme Architecture, Urbanism & Building Sciences (‘Bouwkunde’). For the Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Metropolitan Solutions I was the education programme leader (2014-2016), among others initiatiating and developing the newly accredited M.Sc. programme  Metropolitan Analysis, Design and Engineering. In 2007-2009 I was leading the curriculum renewal of the M.Sc. Urbanism.

As a teacher, I have widespread experiences in coordinating and teaching courses and studios at BSc, MSc and post MSc level on urbanism, on transport planning, and on academic skills for urbanists and architects. I have supervised a large number of M.Sc. graduation projects for Urbanism, Architecture, Management in the Built Environment, Transport Planning, and Construction, Management & Engineering students. I have contributed to several MOOCs.

Over the last decade I have developed strong ties to other educational leaders in and outside TU Delft, with whom I co-published a variety of publications and co-organized a variety of events. I have presented at (engineering) education conferences and have been member of several advisory committees on TU Delft education policies. I got experienced in the processes of programme and institute (‘ITK’) accreditation and visitation. I have strong connections to the 4TU Centre for Engineering Education.

Since 2018 I have been leading - together with Roberto Cavallo - the ABE faculty wide initiative on ‘Research on Education Innovation’. We have several externally funded projects running. Additionally, I am involved in the Urbanism departmental research programme and I have supervised as co-promotor the Ph.D. projects ‘Territories-in-Between’ by Alex Wandl and ‘New Towns in Venezuela’ by Simone Rots.

Remon Rooij is an Associate Professor at the Department of Urbanism. He is the departmental Education leader, the TU Delft CDIO leader, and the TU Delft co-leader of the 4TU Centre for Engineering Education. Remon is a passionate lecturer, coach, course and curriculum designer, education innovator, and researcher in engineering education. Remon has over 25 years of experience in teaching and coordinating a large variety of design and planning courses and programs within the faculty of Architecture & the Built Environment. He is particularly interested in engaging engineering pedagogies that stimulate the intrinsic motivation of students (such as design education, CBL, and inter- and transdisciplinary learning environments) and the kind of academic and professional skills that come with these.

Remon has a strong interdisciplinary background: a doctorate in Spatial Planning within the TRAIL Research School for Transport, Infrastructure and Logistics, and an M.Sc. degree in Urbanism and Real Estate & Construction Management. Since the mid 2000s he has gradually grown as educational leader and scholar. His interests focus on:

  • the future of engineering education
  • the development, renewal and evaluation of academic curriculums in the field of the built environment;
  • academic skills for architects/’bouwkundigen’
  • strategic spatial planning in regional development and urban transformation

Since 2018 he has been leading - together with dr.arch. Roberto Cavallo - the ABE faculty wide initiative on ‘Research on Education Innovation’ with specific focus on 'design education', 'inter- and transdisciplinary education', 'academic skills for architects', 'online and blended education', and 'educational leadership and curriculum renewal'. He is co-promotor of Erna Engelbrecht who focuses on evaluation strategies for education innovation projects. Additionally, he is involved in the Urbanism departmental research program and supervised as co-promotor the Ph.D. projects ‘Territories-in-Between’ by Alex Wandl and ‘New Towns in Venezuela’ by Simone Rots.
