Variables such as gender, age, nationality and type of previous academic graduation were studied to predict their potential impact upon academic outcomes. The total number of enrolled students in the first four years of the recent master course was retrospectivelly examined. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize the collected data. The chi-square test was applied to evaluate the statistical significance of the demographic variables on response variables related to academic outputs such as average grades of the completed curricular units in the master course, number of ECTS achieved and grade of the master final work. The results of the study are meaningful as they contribute to understanding the impact of demographic diversity in the academic outcomes of a study program for an engineering master's degree course and can assist the coordination team to outline actions to develop in the future taking into account the analysis carried out.","PeriodicalId":333998,"journal":{"name":"2021 4th International Conference of the Portuguese Society for Engineering Education (CISPEE)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125160237","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}

To eliminate this silo-based, the authors of this paper carried out a conjoint initiative in giving a common project to the Integrated Master of Industrial Engineering and Management (IEM) students in the School of Engineering of University of Minho. Production Systems Organization I and Process Control and Automation are two courses in the 3rd year of IEM. These courses are logically different content-based. Nevertheless, both are related to design production systems and factors (industrial automated mechanisms). Doing this, production system will produce in less time and it will be waste-free. By developing a common project for both courses, the authors of this paper and teachers of the two courses, expected that students realize the course contents integration. As a main result, the students organized in teams, performed a hands-on activity in the class where they simulate an automated production line. The assessment process included the role-play activity and the relevant information that supports it. After a first experience which revealed positive outcomes, the authors repeated the experience concluding that it is worth to continue investing in such integrated activities.","PeriodicalId":333998,"journal":{"name":"2021 4th International Conference of the Portuguese Society for Engineering Education (CISPEE)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126566572","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}

Técnico reacted promptly and in the 2nd semester of 2019/2020 adopted emergency distance learning, providing students and teachers with the necessary tools to continue their teaching and learning activities. This new reality led to the implementation of new measures to monitor teaching and learning at Técnico, along with the existing integrated system for quality assurance of course units. The monitoring process continued into the 1st semester of 2020/2021 as well as the teaching adaptations arising from the pandemic situation. Fortunately, the flexibility, adaptability and resilience of all the community, teachers and students, allowed to carry out successfully both semesters marked by a big change. The surveys discussed here show that the perception of the students is that remote teaching enhanced the pedagogical performance of the teachers and improved the organization of the courses. On the other hand, students signaled the effects of lacking communication to the teachers and also between the students themselves.","PeriodicalId":333998,"journal":{"name":"2021 4th International Conference of the Portuguese Society for Engineering Education (CISPEE)","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134548024","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}

However, according to the currently scientific literature, understanding of the way synchronous generators operate presents difficulties for students, leading to high failure rates. This study examines the effects of computer assisted learning on energy engineering undergraduates' overall understanding of synchronous generators. Specifically, the library SymspowerSystems of MATLAB was used to observe and verify the performance of a synchronous machine when connected to an infinite electrical network. In order to assess the effectiveness of the proposed methodology, two groups of students were evaluated: the control group, which followed traditional teaching methodology, and the experimental group, which used the proposed methodology. Both groups were evaluated using the same final test, with the results analyzed via a contrast of the means. The results show that the proposed methodology significantly outperformed the traditional methodology in all three dimensions under analysis: theory, problems and overall performance.","PeriodicalId":333998,"journal":{"name":"2021 4th International Conference of the Portuguese Society for Engineering Education (CISPEE)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131141620","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}

The internationalization process of universities is accompanied by a process of dissemination of information, which fulfills several purposes. The aim of this work was to evaluate, in a systematic way, the international indicators and rankings that are proposed in the literature and that are used by the higher education institutions (HEI), and to propose an information model based on that analysis. The research methodology was based on a literature review, documental analysis, informal interviews and observation of events related to internationalization of universities. An exercise of compilation, analysis and synthesis of indicators of the internationalization process of universities resulted in the proposal of a structure of information that includes the most common used indicators, and that can be related to the various perspectives that drive the internationalization process. The structure can be used to guide the process of construction of models of information by universities, particularly in the process of design of web pages, which is nowadays a preferred vehicle of information dissemination from the part of the universities and of information gathering from the part of entities interested in universities.","PeriodicalId":333998,"journal":{"name":"2021 4th International Conference of the Portuguese Society for Engineering Education (CISPEE)","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133117207","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}
