Transport Innovation and Valorisation is a 6-credit course designed to teach students how to develop innovative transport solutions that matter to people. The course adopts the systematic approach of the Stanford BioDesign innovation process, which involves identifying unmet needs or challenges in transportation, developing potential solutions, and implementing and commercializing the most promising ideas. Students will gain exposure to this innovation process as a framework for addressing key challenges in transportation and improving efficiency, safety, sustainability, and accessibility. The course offers lectures on related topics and contains a group assignment where students will innovate in group on a (predefined) topic using the innovation process.

| Written evaluaton during teaching periode | 30 % |
|
| Transfer of partial marks within the academic year | ✔ |
|
| Conditions transfer of partial marks within the academic year | Partial results with a passing score (≥ 10/20) from the first exam
opportunity may be carried over to the second examination period. This
also applies to the report.
In the case of a failed group assignment, an alternative task may be set
for the second examination period, aligned with the intended learning
outcomes. |

|
|
| Evaluation conditions (participation and/or pass) | ✔ |
|
| Conditions | The student must participate in designated organisational and teaching methods (e.g. lectures, work sessions (group work), etc.).
The student must actively participate in compulsory formats that require interaction (e.g. case study, discussion/debate, group work, paper (report), presentations, etc.).
Timely submission of all required assignments (e.g. (intermediate) presentations, final report, final presentation etc.) is mandatory to obtain a final mark. |
|
|
|
| Consequences | Failure to submit compulsory assignments on time (e.g. (intermediate) presentations, final report, etc.) and/or unauthorised absence from compulsory activities (e.g. lectures, work sessions (group work), presentations etc.) may result in a score of 0 for that part of the course.
Absences with valid justification must be reported in time and supported with documentation. Where possible, a replacement task will be provided.
In cases of insufficient active contribution to group work (evidenced by interim monitoring or peer assessment), the individual student’s score may be adjusted.
Buddycheck may apply a correction factor to the group score to reflect individual contributions. For further details, see the course manual.
With active participation in group work, the individual student's score may vary based on the presentation, answering of questions, discussion, etc. |
|
|
|
| Additional information | Detailed information on evaluation conditions, consequences, retention of partial marks and the second examination period for each course is available in the course manual. |
|
Second examination period
| Evaluation second examination opportunity different from first examination opprt | |
|
| Explanation (English) | If a student has a second exam opportunity, it is their responsibility
to contact the lecturer in time to clarify which components must be
retaken.
If the result was insufficient, the student may be asked to submit a
revised or individual version of the original task.
If a student fails the overall course but passes separate components
(e.g. the written evaluation, presentations), the partial result may be
transferred to the second examination period.
Group assignments cannot be retaken during the second examination
period, as group learning objectives (e.g. teamwork skills) are not
feasible in the summer period. Only an individual defence of the report
may serve as the second examination period, always aligned with the
intended learning outcomes. |
