University 4.0: The future of higher education in the Age of Technology
Al-Zoubi, Abdallah; Pozzo, María Isabel; Ionita Ciolacu, Monica; Alves, Gustavo R.; Kist, Alexander A.The fourth industrial revolution has had an unprecedented impact on humanity. The disruptive technologies driving the new revolution's pervasive change have the most significant impact on the younger generation. Universities should produce and promote the best use of such technologies. The next-generation university's form, function, and purpose must be clarified. The future university has already been given ne...
Considerations on the implementation of a non-traditional laboratory for rock c...
Pizarro, Sónia; Alves, Gustavo R.; García-Peñalvo, FranciscoNon-traditional laboratories have become part of today’s teach ing/learning process, particularly in engineering. In Geotechnical Engineering, as in other experimental-based courses, laboratory tests play a major role, particularly in the mechanics of rocks and soils. Considering the reduced number of non-traditional laboratories, particularly for physical-mechanical rock characterization tests, it is urgent to...
Developing future skills in engineering education for industry 5.0: Enabling te...
Ciolacu, Monica I.; Alves, Gustavo R.; Terkowsky, Claudius; Zoubi, Abdallah Y.; Boettcher, Konrad E.R.; Pozzo, María I.; Kist, Alexander A.In the coming years, every industry, whether education, services, or administration, will face the 5.0 challenges, such as real-time-based digital twins and simulation, human-machine interaction, human-centric solutions, bio-in spired technologies, smart materials, cyber-safe data transmission, virtual collaboration, technologies for energy efficiency and trustworthy autonomy and artificial intelligence. Higher...
Online laboratories in engineering education research and practice
May, Dominik; Alves, Gustavo R.; Kist, Alexander A.; Zvacek, Susan M.Instructional laboratories have long been an integral part of engineering education and technical degree programs. Today, online laboratories using remote, simulation, or even immersive virtual reality technologies offer additional innovation potential for teaching with a wide variety of pedagogical approaches, of which some are possible only because of the introduced technology and its new affordances. Educati...
VISIR+ project follow-up after four years: Educational and research impact
Pavani, Ana M.B.; Viegas, Clara; Lima, Natércia; Alves, Gustavo R.; Marques, Arcelina; Fidalgo, André; Jacob, Frederico; Silva, Juarez B.This full paper addresses an innovative practice in the experimental teaching/learning in Engineering courses. Engineering is a practical profession where doing is the key. Experimental work and the immersing in the lab environment (hands-on, simulations, remote labs) helps students to construct and strengthen their knowledge. The VISIR+ Project (ERASMUS+), launched in November 2015 and concluded in Abril 2018,...
Impact of COVID-19 pandemic to EDUCON: a bibliometric analysis
Silva, Mariana Miguel; Costa, Alexandra R.; Moura, Ana; Alves, Gustavo R.In recent years, bibliometrics has been widely used as a methodology for the analysis of scientific production, proving to be an excellent instrument for supporting scientific policy decisions. In this paper, we present a bibliometric analysis of the 12 editions of the Global Engineering Education Conference (EDUCON). Several indicators were used, namely number of submitted articles, the rate of accepted submis...
Investigations on the Wear Performance of Coated Tools in Machining UNS S32101 ...
Sousa, Vitor F. C.; Silva, Francisco J. G.; Alexandre, Ricardo; Alves, Gustavo R.; Baptista, Andresa; Fecheira, José S.Due to their high mechanical property values and corrosion resistance, duplex stainless steels (DSSs) are used for a wide variety of industrial applications. DSSs are also selected for applications that require, especially, high corrosion resistance and overall good mechanical properties, such as in the naval and oil-gas exploration industries. The obtention of components made from these materials is quite prob...
A comprehensive VISIR bibliographical reference
Silva, Mariana Miguel; Fidalgo, André; Marques, Maria Arcelina; Alves, Gustavo R.; Salah, Razwan M.; Jacob, Frederico L.VISIR (Virtual Instrument Systems in Reality) is a remote laboratory environment in use in research and academic institutions since 2001. This paper presents a comprehensive VISIR bibliographical reference, including a performance analysis, which reviews the publication data and the citation indexes, and a science mapping, that presents the cognitive structure. The procedure to retrieve, aggregate, process, and...
Frequency detection of experimental errors through Learning Analytics techniques
Costa, Heverton Marcos; Alves, Gustavo R.; Silva, Juarez Bento Da; Mota Alves, Joao Bosco DaThe process that systematically collects and analyzes large volumes of data in order to improve the teaching-learning process is called Learning Analytics. Based on data processing, educational data mining and visualization, it is possible to monitor academic progress, enhancing actions on how the teacher should conduct the discipline. The objective of this research is to mine data from experiments carried out ...
A roadmap for the VISIR remote lab
Alves, Gustavo R.; Marques, Maria Arcelina; Fidalgo, André; García-Zubía, Javier; Castro, Manuel; Hernández-Jayo, Unai; García-Loro, FelixThis article proposes a roadmap for the VISIR remote laboratory based on a SWOT analysis performed by fifteen experts, with large experience on VISIR deployment, and their perceptions in three categories: Technical, Pedagogical and Educational. The resulting VISIR roadmap was obtained considering an underlying strategy based on a RAKID model. The major resulting insights address the user interface as the most e...
