Thermostatically controlled loads have great potential to make a significant contribution to improving energy efficiency in the building sector, which is responsible for 40% of greenhouse gas emissions in the EU. This, in addition to the environmental damage, represents a huge expense in terms of the electricity bill. Therefore, it is very important to train engineers on how to design energy management systems for TCLs. With this goal in mind, it would be very useful to have a simulation-based educational tool (SBET) to understand thermostatically controlled loads, their characteristics, and the possibilities in terms of energy efficiency. In addition, it would be very useful if this tool could be introduced in engineering curricula to help students become better trained and enter the labor market with more opportunities. Based on the shortcomings detected, this work develops an SBET specifically designed to teach on the subject of TCLs (SBET-TCLs), both about their intrinsic characteristics and their better management. To verify the developed SBET-TCLs, it was tested in a real scenario: a survey was carried out among the students of the subject ‘Alternative Energy Sources’ in the degrees of Industrial Engineering. The results show that the use of an SBET-TCLs has very positive effects on the learning process.

“…Although people adopt new teaching methods to promote the improvement of teaching quality, especially in higher education, the research on this topic has limitations. There are studies on improving teaching quality through stea [4][5], Yang et al [6] supplemented teaching methods through online education mode, and Arif et al [7] summarized many teaching experiences through improving online teaching methods. Marques et al [8] promote students' learning through new methods such as mobile devices and augmented reality (AR).…”

<p>At the beginning of the emergence of the concept of new engineering, its connotation interpretation and paradigm change theme have become the focus of attention. The new engineering should not only pay attention to the construction of new industries and new specialties under the new technology, but also pay attention to the continuous training effect of talents under the new engineering education. Discipline competition is an effective way to cultivate the innovation and entrepreneurship ability of college students and improve their comprehensive quality. In order to promote the sustainable and good construction of new engineering education in Colleges and universities, this paper uses PDCA cycle as a means to integrate multi-disciplinary technology through discipline competition, promote the ability of college students to solve complex engineering problems, and thus improve the teaching quality of new engineering. Practice has proved that PDCA is applied to discipline competition in a circular way, providing a feasible path for the implementation of new engineering. After three years of tracking assessment on three different classes of computer science, the graduation design score has been raised from about 82 points to about 85 points, and the students’ theoretical level, practical ability, innovation ability and discipline competition design level have been significantly improved.</p> <p> </p>
