The module is designed to teach the students how to control the flow and level of a process using different techniques such as On/Off control, PID control, cascade control, and others. The module provides three different interfaces with the process, manual control, a PLC interface with digital/analog input/output signals and a serial USB interface that connects the module with Matlab/Simulink and LabVIEW. The module was implemented with industrial valves both On/Off and proportional as actuators. Industrial level switches, a flow meter, and an ultrasonic level meter uses as sensors in order to provide students with first-hand experience with industrial equipment. This multi-purpose and multi-interface design makes the module a very flexible tool for teaching process control techniques. The entire process of design, implementation and test results are presented.","PeriodicalId":211092,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE World Conference on Engineering Education (EDUNINE)","volume":"322 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115870743","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It was considered that designing and building a wind turbine would allow the students of the subject of Physics II of the Tecnologico de Monterrey Morelia campus to better understand the concepts (fluid mechanics and thermodynamics) addressed in the course. The students, by teams, built three different types of wind turbines and after making measurements on different variables they chose the model they considered optimal. After the experimentation it was seen that the students considered the construction of the wind turbine to be very relevant for their learning.","PeriodicalId":211092,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE World Conference on Engineering Education (EDUNINE)","volume":"118 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132727231","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For this purpose, a rubric that was initially formalized by the board of experts was used, and it was applied in a practical way at the end of the course with the students of the PI course (95 students) to verify the scope of this competence as shown in the results obtained.

E/FYEWP faculty initially integrated engineering topics into already existing liberal-arts-oriented writing assignments. However, once we began getting to know our engineering students and their writing, we realized that to best support our students, we needed to treat engineering as more than a “topic.” We needed to construct assignments around engineering as a discipline, which employs significant and particular ways of pursuing insight and constructing meaning.

Exams are composed through LaTeX text processing instructions. As this process can be very tedious, Matlab/Octave scripts are included so as to automate the generation of input data and the corresponding answers for all versions. AMC then scans all returned exams, computes the scores and sends the marked exams back to the students through e-mail. Benefits arising from this methodology are as follows: (i) the students receive fast, detailed feedback from which they can self-evaluate their own learning process, and (ii) executing statistical analyses regarding the students' overall performance with respect to a particular question or topic is straightforward.","PeriodicalId":211092,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE World Conference on Engineering Education (EDUNINE)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126175795","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
