3D printing (3DP) presents great potential for automation, sustainability, and quality control in the construction sector. However, research on 3DP in Construction has been carried out primarily from a structural standpoint, and information on the thermal performance, comfort and energy efficiency of these solutions remains very limited. Given the importance of assessing how printed walls perform when subjected...
Digital society demands very qualified professionals ready to this environment challenges. This makes necessary to foster the development of competences related to such context such as Computational Thinking or STEAM related skills. However, this is not an easy task, especially because integrating subjects that covers the necessary topics and competences. New active pedagogical approaches are required and this ...
In the context of the digital society, educational systems should prepare the students to succeed in a really volatile environment. In order to do so they require to acquire some specific competences that use to be related to STEAM Education. However, integrating STEAM is hard and requires of new methodologies and tools. RoboSTEAM is an Erasmus+ project that aims to facilitate this by using Challenge Based Lear...
