Análisis de los resultados del proyecto de innovación educativa PIRAMIDE - [Analysis of results from PIRAMIDE educational innovation project]

Abstract

- PIRAMIDE aimed at boosting academic results from Bachelor and Master students by doing research on space engineering. This project was carried out by professors from the IDR/UPM Institute and the STRAST group. The program was structured into five different case studies: 1) design of a space mission (phase 0/A) in a Concurrent Design Facility (CDF); 2) selection and study of an onboard computer for a CubeSat mission; 3) intelligent design methodologies applied to graphic engineering; 4) analysis of power systems for space applications; and 5) design of a spacecraft Attitude Determination and Control Subsystem (ADCS). In the present work, the results of conducting five student surveys for each of the case studies and a faculty survey are analyzed. In addition, some critical analysis is included with the lessons learned that might help design better innovative educational projects in the future.
