tailieunhanh - Interdisciplinary robotics project for first-year engineering degree students
The present artcle explains the methodology used in the interdisciplinary project and how it was implemented in the frst year of the Mechanical Engineering and Electronic Engineering and Industrial Automaton degree programs. Furthermore, an evaluaton is conducted of all four years of the interdisciplinary project, revealing the main problems with its executon and how they have been addressed. | Journal of Technology and Science Education INTERDISCIPLINARY ROBOTICS PROJECT FOR FIRST-YEAR ENGINEERING DEGREE STUDENTS Mercedes Aznar1, José Zacarés1, Jaime López2, Rafael Sánchez3, José M.

New methodologies must be applied that promote the necessary competences for proper professional development. Interdisciplinary projects can be a suitable tool for competence-based learning. A priori, this might be complicated, as subjects are traditonally studied at the university level in isolated compartments, with a fragmented structure. Taking advantage of the creaton of new degree programs in Mechanical Engineering and Electronic Engineering and Industrial Automaton, in the 2010-11 academic year we decided to add an interdisciplinary project (IP) to our teaching methodology. The importance of this project lies in the fact that it requires the partcipaton of all the courses in all the academic years in the degree program. The present artcle explains the methodology used in the interdisciplinary project and how it was implemented in the frst year of the Mechanical Engineering and Electronic Engineering and Industrial Automaton degree programs. Furthermore, an evaluaton is conducted of all four years of the interdisciplinary project, revealing the main problems with its executon and how they have been addressed.
