New colleagues - Issue no 12 | 2023

Hi all!

On September 1^st, I started as Head of Educational Innovation at CELT. This is a 20-hour position, and I work another 20 hours as an Assistant Professor in the Systems Engineering and Multidisciplinary Design at the ET-DPM. I am Brazilian (and Dutch since July 2023), married and have two children. We arrived in the Netherlands and I started at the UT in 2016. I love travelling, discovering new cultures and attending music concerts (especially pop and rock bands from the 80s). Being an academic is my second career. From 1984 to 2014 I worked in the Brazilian Air Force as a pilot and program manager. I am passionate about education! Some of you already know me from educational improvement projects involving flipped classrooms, socially shared regulation of learning and learning games. I look forward to working with all of you!

My name is Britt Meenderink.

Since this month, I have been working in the Educational Affairs Office for the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science (EWI / EEMCS). I grew up in Ootmarsum with my parents and twin sister. Since 3.5 years, I have been living in Hengelo. I also studied at the University of Twente for the degree programmes Educational Science and Educational Science & Technology. I also have an administrative background. I am looking forward to this new challenge!
