How to recognize and support students with ASD
Uitnodiging
Geachte docent(e) van de faculteit EWI,
Op dinsdagochtend 21 januari 2025 geef ik een workshop voor EWI-docenten over het herkennen en ondersteunen van leerlingen met een Autisme Spectrum stoornis (ASS). Deze studenten hebben vaak extra begeleiding en ondersteuning nodig van docenten en worden meestal ook begeleid door studieadviseurs. In deze workshop wordt aandacht besteed aan:
- De kenmerken van autisme en om aspecten van communicatie met autistische studenten te verdiepen;
- Uitleg geven over aspecten van begeleiding van autistische leerlingen;
- Manieren identificeren om problemen in de communicatie te voorkomen/op te lossen.
De workshop duurt 2 uur van 10.00uur -12.00 uur in de Van Katwijkzaal (HB 08.150) in de hoogbouw. Deze workshop wordt in het Nederlands gegeven. In maart is er nog een workshop in het Engels. Er is plaats voor 14 deelnemers.
Als je interesse hebt om deel te nemen, stuur me dan een e-mail naar aanleiding van deze uitnodiging. (M.M.M.Draijer@tudelft.nl)

Dear lecturer of the Faculty of EEMCS,
On Tuesday morning, January 21, 2025, I will give a workshop for EEMCS teachers on recognising and supporting students with an Autism Spectrum disorder (ASD). These students often need additional guidance and support from lecturers and are usually supervised by study advisors. In this workshop attention is paid to:
- The characteristics of autism and to deepen aspects of communication with autistic students;
- Explaining aspects of guidance of autistic students;
- Identifying ways to prevent/solve problems in communication.
The workshop will last two hours from 10 am to 12 pm in the high-rise Van Katwijkzaal (HB 08.150). It will be given in Dutch. In March, there will be another workshop in English. There is room for 14 participants.
If you are interested in participating, please send me an email to Monique. (M.M.M.Draijer@tudelft.nl)
Stay tuned! EDIT is planning more events in this academic year 2025 - 2026
Past Events
2024
Orange The World
Orange the World is the global campaign against violence against women and girls. TU Delft, in cooperation with the core group Orange the World of the Municipality of Delft, will launch the annual campaign by raising the flag in front of the Auditorium on 25 November 2024, the International Day against Violence against Women. This will take place in the presence of Joëlle Gooijer, alderman of the municipality of Delft and Marien van der Meer, Vice President Operations of TU Delft.
The theme of the Orange the World campaign in the Netherlands this year is ‘Safe, everywhere and always’ and runs until 10 December, International Human Rights Day.
After raising the flag, an event will take place in the Auditorium with Tessel ten Zweege, writer, artist and feminist and Jens van Tricht, idealist, feminist and director of Emancipator. They will make us more aware of violence against women and girls and how we can collectively prevent and stop it.
The entire TU community is invited to attend the flag-raising, come to the event and then continue talking to each other over drinks in the Foyer of the Aula.
Language: Dutch with English subtitles
But Girls Just Don't Like Tech
Many girls just don’t like technology, or do they? At TU Delft, 31% of the students and 30% of the staff are women. Increasing these numbers would result in more people who can fill STEM vacancies. Furthermore, research shows that increased diversity results in more productive and innovative products. But why do we have this lack of women in many (but not all) STEM fields? Several societal factors affect the image of STEM professions, self-efficacy and interest development. During this lunch lecture, Shirley de Wit will take you along by explaining the causes, consequences and discussing possible solutions to close the gender gap in STEM.
