Abstract
Dynamic lighting is playing a key role in education, by considering the main photometric variables such as the correlated color temperature and the illuminance to increase student’s attention levels inside the classroom. In the case of design students, the project component is fundamental for teaching, where students mainly need to develop activities such as presentation to listen to the teacher instructions, ideation and sketching to propose a solution according to the problem being addressed, and exhibition to present the work that has been done. These activities require specific and adequate lighting conditions to generate a positive impact on the performance of students. This article presents the design of a dynamic lighting system capable of adjusting the correlated color temperature in a range from 2500 K to 6500 K and the illuminance levels in a range from 0 lx to 800 lx to enhance the sustained and fixed attention of design students inside the classroom according to the type of activity that is being developed.

期刊介绍:
Revista Facultad de Ingenieria started in 1984 and is a publication of the School of Engineering at the University of Antioquia.
The main objective of the journal is to promote and stimulate the publishing of national and international scientific research results. The journal publishes original articles, resulting from scientific research, experimental and or simulation studies in engineering sciences, technology, and similar disciplines (Electronics, Telecommunications, Bioengineering, Biotechnology, Electrical, Computer Science, Mechanical, Chemical, Environmental, Materials, Sanitary, Civil and Industrial Engineering).
In exceptional cases, the journal will publish insightful articles related to current important subjects, or revision articles representing a significant contribution to the contextualization of the state of the art in a known relevant topic. Case reports will only be published when those cases are related to studies in which the validity of a methodology is being proven for the first time, or when a significant contribution to the knowledge of an unexplored system can be proven.
All published articles have undergone a peer review process, carried out by experts recognized for their knowledge and contributions to the relevant field.
To adapt the Journal to international standards and to promote the visibility of the published articles; and therefore, to have a greater impact in the global academic community, after November 1st 2013, the journal will accept only manuscripts written in English for reviewing and publication.
Revista Facultad de Ingeniería –redin is entirely financed by University of Antioquia
Since 2015, every article accepted for publication in the journal is assigned a DOI number.
