The question is, can the faculties provide data on their energy consumption to raise energy awareness with students and employees? Typically, campus cafeterias show us how it's done and set a good example by displaying the carbon dioxide emission score of the daily menu. The challenge typically lies …

The Faculty of Engineering at the University of Curaçao (UoC) faced significant challenges in student enrollment and retention. Furthermore, the Caribbean SIDS faces a shortage of engineers specialized in sustainability, which will hinder the development of sustainability within the SIDS. The Bachelor …

There is a pressing need to align energy curricula in vocational and higher education to the challenges of the energy transition. Therefor this paper aims at drafting up to date skills profiles for jobs in the Dutch energy sector. Skills profiles were drafted by mapping (transversal) skills mentioned …

Collaborating with industry partners, the study investigates the use of digital design and robotic technology to optimize the utilization of residual wood. By employing computational design, custom products can be generated from mixed wood batches, enabling circular applications previously unattainable …

A modified genetic algorithm (MGA) optimization procedure, alongside time series machine learning (ML) classifiers, is proposed to minimize handovers in a digital twin-based visible light communication (VLC) system. Frequent handovers have a direct impact on the overall performance of the VLC system …

Reliability is a constraint of low-power wireless connectivity, commonly addressed by the deployment of mesh topology. Accordingly, power consumption becomes a major concern during the design and implementation of such networks. Thus, a mono-objective optimization was implemented in this work to decrease …

The SynergyS project aims to develop and assess a smart control system for multi-commodity energy systems (SMCES). The consortium, including a broad range of partners from different sectors, believes a SMCES is better able to incorporate new energy sources in the energy system. The partners are Hanze, …
