The Adventures in Teaching podcast might be the next favourite item on your playlist.

S04E02 | Exploration | Building Bridges in Education
In this episode of Adventures in Teaching, we explore what it means to build bridges in engineering education. More specifically, on how educators can support students with different backgrounds and different preparation levels, while fostering belonging and growth.
We are joined with Ilke Ercan, Associate Professor and Chair of Electrical Engineering Education at TU Delft, who shares her work focussed on redesigning the first-year experience to make engineering education more accessible, structured and human, meeting students where they are without lowering standards of TU Delft education. Student Eva Horlings will join the conversation and provides us more insights from a student perspective.
Together, they dive into bridging the gap between high school and university, designing learning experiences for diverse backgrounds, and creating environments where students can grow with confidence.
A must-listen for educators and students interested in fostering inclusion and strengthening the foundations of learning.

S04 BONUS E4 | Belonging in Education | Spatial Dimension
Belonging doesn’t only happen between people, it happens in spaces. This episode looks at how physical, digital, relational, and structural spaces shape student experiences. From project rooms and online platforms to unwritten rules and accessibility, we reflect on how space can quietly include or exclude, and what educators and institutions can do to design spaces where students truly feel they belong.

S04 BONUS E3 | Belonging in Education | End Projects
End projects are often where students feel most vulnerable. In this episode, we focus on Bachelor's and Master's end projects and the critical role of supervision, autonomy, and clarity. We explore how belonging grows when students feel trusted, guided, and in ownership of their work and what happens when expectations, communication, or support break down.
