Item Engineering Education and Technological/Professional Learning(MDPI, 2019-11-22) Viegas, C.; Marques, A.; Alves, G. R.; García-Peñalvo, F. J.The focus of this Special Issue is aimed at enhancing the discussion of Engineering Education, particularly related to technological and professional learning. It was associated with TEEM’18 (6th International Conference on Technological Ecosystems for Enhancing Multiculturality), in particular the special track (under the same nomination) [1] from which the authors of the best works were invited to submit an extension of their paper. Later, it was also associated with CASHE’19 (1st Conference on Academic Success in Higher Education). In parallel, since this special issue had an open call, several works were submitted, from different universities and countries (Australia, Canada, Japan, Portugal, Spain, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom), creating a more global view of different, yet similar concerns.Item 21st Century Challenges in Engineering and Technological learning(ACM, 2017-10-18) Viegas, C.; Marques, A.; Alves, Gustavo R.The success of 21st century engineers1 depends on demanding challenges, involving a large scope of scientific and social competences. College education must help students to develop those competences in collaborative environments and better address these needs. Developing students’ knowledge and skills in contextualized engineering environments, practicing teamwork, leadership, decision-making, experimental work and critical thinking are some of the important aspects addressed in this track.Item The VISIR+ Project – Helping Contextualize Math in an Engineering Course(IEEE, 2017-06-06) Lima, N.; Zannin, M.; Viegas, C.; Marques, A.; Alves, Gustavo R.; Felgueiras, M. C.; Costa, R.; Fidalgo, A.; da Silva, J. B.; Pozzo, M. I.; Dobboletta, E.; Gustavsson, I.; García-Peñalvo, F. J.The long-term goal of engineering education is to prepare students to work as engineers. Being a practical profession, laboratories play a crucial role in illustrating concepts and principles as well as improving technical skills. In the last decades the use of online resources (simulators and remote labs) has been growing, either as a complementary and/or as an alternative way of developing experimental competences. In the scope of the VISIR+ Project, this work presents the first results of a didactical implementation using simultaneously the remote laboratory VISIR (Virtual Instrument Systems in Reality), simulation and calculus in a Math Course at the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC). The preliminary results indicate that the use of several resources increases students’ performance, boosting their learning and competence development.
