Who are we? What are our values? What do we represent?
Group T s
objective is to provide education in the broadest sense, both locally and
globally, from a plurality of world views. Revolving around the 5Es
(Environmenting, Enterprising, Engineering, Educating, Ensembling) Group T s
mission is Educing Essence by Experiencing Existence.
Enterprising
education is, in addition to the activity of education proper, understood to
include but not to be limited to research and services, the establishment and
participation in companies that form spin-offs from this research, the offering
of all forms of services to students, personnel, and third parties, the starting
up or participation in other associations or companies with a similar or related
objective and the acquisition, establishment and set up, management and making
available of all moveable and immoveable infrastructure to accomplish these
objects.
Within Group T, bachelor, master, advanced master,
postgraduate certificate and other programs are organized both locally and
globally, in Dutch and in other languages in, among other areas, engineering,
enterprising, educating, environmenting, and ensembling.
With regard to
academic bachelor and master programs in the study domain of industrial sciences
and technology, Group T sets as its objective to educate future engineers based
on the 5E-concept and this in the context of the four technology fields of
Matter, Energy, Information, and Life, in connection with the four basic
sciences of Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, and Biology. As regards
engineering, Group T places technology first, always in combination with
management and communication.
With regard to professional bachelor
programs in the field of education, Group T sets as its objective to educate
students on the basis of the 5E-concept to become teachers with an
entrepreneurial spirit, a sense of creativity, and a capacity for change. All
this from a plurality of world views, among others by offering, in addition to
both religious studies and non-confessional ethics, other world views. As
regards educating, Group T aims to develop the person as a whole, referring to
UNESCO s body of thoughts,The Four Ppillars of Education: Learning to Be,
Learning to Know, Learning to Do, and Learning to Live Together.
The
international nature of Group T s education, research, and services is
essential. The international character includes initiatives like joint
organization of education and research projects with international institutes
and services to international institutes, exchange of personnel and students,
development of its own extensions abroad and of extensions of foreign institutes
at Group T, development of educational concepts and programs on behalf of
international partners, and organization of education in languages other than
Dutch. The use of electronic media as a tool and English as a language is
essential in this. |
