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...
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...
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,...
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...
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...
Factors Affecting the Adoption of Technology by Teachers for Engineering Education
Peramunugamage, Anuradha; Usoof, Hakim; Dias, Priyan; Weerasinghe, Thushani; Alves, Gustavo R.An online questionnaire survey, regarding 14 motivators for and 13 barriers against adopting technology enhanced learning (TEL), was sent to more than 300 Sri Lankan engineering lecturers, of which 98 responded. The main motivator was found to be personal interest in using technology, and the main barrier lack of funding for TEL. The scores for motivators were in general higher than those for barriers. These re...
Electric vehicles growth until 2030: Impact on the distribution network power
Nogueira, Teresa; Sousa, Ezequiel; Alves, Gustavo R.In the coming years, we will witness a change in the current car fleet sales, from traditional fuel engines towards electrical vehicles (EVs), particularly passenger light-duty vehicles. They plug into the grid and store the electricity in rechargeable batteries; therefore, the widespread adoption of EVs will bring many challenges for the distribution network. Forecasting the impact of EVs on distribution netwo...

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 ...
