Abstract

For some degrees, practicum projects are essential to the curricula. Owing to the mild conditions and safety of its manufacturing, bioplastics represent an interesting opportunity to implement a hands-on approach for students to develop at home in an extended laboratory scheme. This work developed an experimental approach as a home-based project to address an environmental problem in developing avocado seed-based bioplastics reinforced with essential oils and showing antifungal properties and improved water barrier properties. All the experiments and characterizations could be adapted to a house setting. This contribution shows that it is possible to complete an experimental practicum project totally based at home and with significant good results. This approach to conducting projects remotely could be adopted in universities facing constraints such as limited laboratory facilities or equipment availability. It can also be applied to remote education initiatives and to overcome educational barriers for individuals facing gender-based inequalities.
远程工程项目的实验方法和克服教育挑战。
对于某些学位而言,实习项目是课程中必不可少的内容。由于生物塑料的生产条件温和且安全,因此是一个有趣的机会,可以让学生在家中通过扩展实验室计划进行实践开发。这项工作开发了一种实验方法,作为解决环境问题的家庭项目,开发以牛油果种子为基础、用精油增强的生物塑料,具有抗真菌性能和更好的隔水性能。所有实验和表征均可在家庭环境中进行。这一贡献表明,完全在家完成实验实习项目并取得显著的良好效果是可能的。面临实验室设施或设备有限等制约因素的大学可以采用这种远程开展项目的方法。它还可以应用于远程教育活动,克服面临性别不平等的个人的教育障碍。
