Impacto de un programa de aprendizaje socioemocional en la autoestima de los escolares pertenecientes a comunidades educativas interculturales Mapuches en la región de la Araucanía-Chile
Este estudio describe los resultados de un programa de intervención en Aprendizaje Socioemocional (ASE), y el fortalecimiento de la autoestima de estudiantes provenientes de dos colegios interculturales de la región de la Araucanía, Chile. El tipo de investigación fue cuasi experimental con pre-post test, con grupo experimental (n=122) y control (n=84). Los análisis mostraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre los grupos (t(204)=2.…
Mooc-Based Flipped Classroom for On-Campus Teaching in Undergraduate Engineering Courses
Contribution: This work studies how to integrate massive open online courses (MOOCs) into traditional, face-to-face, Undergraduate Engineering Courses. Background: MOOCs emerged as an innovative trend in online learning with distinctive and attractive features, such as ease of access and cost effectiveness for large audiences. For this reason, they have attracted a lot of attention for their potential in contributing to global challenges in conte…
Halloween Educational Robotics
Today’s society is facing new challenges and opportunities that demand professional profiles specialized in problem solving, with the ability to innovate and exploit the possibilities offered by information and communication technologies (ICTs). Far from being a novelty, the term STEM was coined in the mid-1990s. From then until now, there are a multitude of initiatives focusing on working STEM education with students. In recent years, the use of…

A Design-Oriented Engineering Course Involving Interactions With Stakeholders
Contribution: A novel project-based learning (PBL) approach applicable to diverse design-oriented engineering courses. This article reports the application results during six academic years (2012/13 to 2017/18) for electronic instrumentation (EI) course for third-year Industrial Electronic and Automation Engineering majors. Background: Engineering education should prepare students to specify, design, and validate systems interacting with stakehol…
Pugna de "frames" en el debate político español
Una comunicación política eficaz demanda un correcto encuadre de los asuntos públicos que consiga promover las propias percepciones e interpretaciones, dificultando que calen en el público las de los rivales políticos y medios de comunicación (ENTMAN, 2003: 417). El objetivo de esta investigación consiste en comprobar si el encuadre del Gobierno español sobre la situación económica a lo largo de la pasada legislatura ha sido capaz de imponerse en…
Aplicaciones y seguridad en la implementación de competencias prácticas en entornos de gestión del aprendizaje
En este artículo exponemos algunas mejoras y aportaciones en dos aspectos de los sistemas de gestión de aprendizaje (LMS). El primer aspecto es la seguridad y la autenticación, donde presentamos una modalidad de combinar la autenticación tradicional de contraseña y nombre de usuario con la autenticación por la técnica biométrica de comparación de huellas dactilares. El segundo aspecto es una arquitectura middleware capaz de dar acceso desde los L…
Use of E-Learning Functionalities and Standards
This paper shows the results of a survey performed in Spain on the different functionalities of e-learning platforms. This survey was filled in by a group of teachers, experts in engineering education from across Spain, within the scope of the Spanish Chapter of the IEEE Education Society. This paper presents their opinions on several aspects of e-learning functionalities, such as knowledge levels, levels of use, and usefulness, as well as descri…

A Methodology to Teach Advanced A/D Converters, Combining Digital Signal Processing and Microelectronics Perspectives
ADCs (analog-to-digital converters), especially Pipeline and Sigma-Delta (Σ-Δ) converters, are designed using complex architectures in order to increase their sampling rate and/or resolution. Consequently, the learning of ADC devices also encompasses complex concepts such as multistage synchronization, latency, oversampling, modulation, noise shaping, filtering, or decimation. This paper is focused on a new learning methodology, based on the simu…

Building Common Spaces in Engineering Education
The creation of Common Spaces for Higher Education means facing different challenges. This paper reviews the main contributions to three of these key aspects: namely, the main competencies of practicing engineers, the position of the main Education Societies in building these spaces for education, and the particularities for standards in Engineering accreditation. These ideas were debated in the last Conference on Engineering and Computer Educati…
Experiences with fuzzy logic and neural networks in a control course
Control system education must include experimental exercises that complement the theory presented in lectures. These exercises include modeling, analysis, and design of a control system. Key concepts and techniques in the area of intelligent systems and control were discovered and developed over the past few decades. Although some of these methods have significant benefits to offer, engineers are often reluctant to utilize new intelligent control…
Examples of distance learning projects in the European Community
The innovation brought by the introduction of new technologies in our modern society has also started to appear in education. The biggest efforts come from the institutions involved in distance education, partly due to the characteristics of the educational system they represent. In order to improve the technology development there are a large number of projects being developed inside the European Union. This paper discusses the current situation…
