The numerical methods course has shown throughout its development a high complexity due to its level of abstraction, this has as a consequence where the course becomes more difficult to overcome by students. Traditional teaching-learning methodologies are not effective in this kind of courses, that is why the application of new strategies such as Problem Based Learning (PBL) shows better results, since it has been shown that it has the ability to materialize theoretical concepts in real applications. This article presents this case study where the impact of the methodology is presented both in the learning process and in the training of students with a research profile within the aeronautical engineering program.
The social restrictions imposed by the Covid-19 pandemic generate severe changes in the everyday activities of the world. University education was no stranger to this reality. This situation forced the search for different strategies to guarantee the quality and continuity of the various academic activities. This project explores the use of a collaborative work methodology used with the help of communication and information technologies to develop a research project. The selected project was the improvement of a racing drone structure. A collaborative approach during the project development presumed exciting and promising results from the technical and teaching views.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
