Collaborating with higher education
Strengthening higher technical education together
KIVI connects colleges and universities with professional practice to improve the quality of engineering education. Read here how we contribute to the development of future engineers and innovation in engineering education.
KIVI's contribution to excellent engineering education
KIVI is committed to quality engineering education through three key initiatives:
KIVI Experts
KIVI Experts form the bridge between excellent research at universities and colleges and its practical application by engineers.
Training, Appeals and Careers Council (ROBL)
The ROBL promotes high-quality technology education and encourages alignment between engineering education and society's need for engineers.
Here's how you as an engineer can support higher technical education
Share your expertise and experience to inspire and train the next generation of engineers:
Supervising students
Study programmes regularly need enthusiastic engineers willing to supervise students on short projects. The students find it fun and instructive to be able to draw on the experience of our professionals and together turn their ideas into prototypes or working products or processes, for example. As a supervisor, you can also have fun and learn from this.
Would you like to supervise a student or a group of students on a project? Send your CV with a short motivation to info@kivi.nl.
Offering / supervising internship projects
An internship is part of all engineering studies, both at wo and hbo level. Students are always looking for exciting internship assignments. Honours students from the various programmes are available for the most challenging internships.
Do you have a great internship assignment? Send a description of the subject and what technical background you expect the student to have to info@kivi.nl. Also mention your position within the company.
Participate in assessment and advisory committees
KIVI is happy to commit itself to engineering education, whether at the college, university or postgraduate level. As a professional association of engineers, we have the pre-eminent network where the right people can be found who can advise or assess engineering education, from the point of view of engineers.
Would you like to be considered for participation in an advisory, examination or assessment committee and thus also contribute to the quality of education? Send your CV with a short motivation to info@kivi.nl.
