“…Corral-Abad et al., 2018; Ortega-García et al., 2017; Salas-Rueda and Vázquez-Estupiñán, 2017) have incorporated technological applications in the educational field in order to improve the teaching–learning process. In fact, ICTs are modifying the planning and implementation of school activities in various areas such as mechanical engineering (Corral-Abad et al., 2018), computer science (Pereira and Terra, 2018; Singh et al., 2019), and geology (Isik and Cabalar, 2018). In the area of geology, the use of applications in the educational process facilitates the identification of the characteristics and properties of soil (Isik and Cabalar, 2018).…”

This quantitative research aims to analyze the impact of the WampServer application in Blended learning during the educational process of computing through data science, machine learning, and neural networks. WampServer is a free application that allows the creation of websites considering the use of the database. This research proposes the use of Blended learning in the Development of applications subject in order to facilitate the teaching–learning process in the Database unit. The students discuss and reflect the concepts on the database in the classroom and carry out various school activities on the construction of websites at home through the use of the WampServer application. The sample consists of 28 students who took the Development of applications subject during the 2016 school year. The results of machine learning (linear regression) with 50, 60, and 70% of training indicate that the use of PHP, HTML, and SQL languages in the WampServer application positively influences the assimilation of knowledge and development of skills on web programming. Data science identifies six predictive models about the use of WampServer in the educational process of computing. On the other hand, neural networks determine the factors that influence the assimilation of knowledge and development of skills on web programming. This research recommends the incorporation of the WampServer application in the school activities related to the computer field to create new educational spaces and facilitate the teaching–learning process. Teachers can transform the educational context through the organization and realization of creative activities inside and outside the classroom. Finally, the use of WampServer in Blended learning allows creating new spaces for teaching and learning of computer science because this application favors the assimilation of knowledge and development of skills on web programming.

Active learning is an effective technique for imparting domain knowledge and life skills. How-ever, it is an extremely resource hungry model. The proposed work shows the implementation of active learning for an engineering program in a constrained environment. It uses a project spanning across multiple courses, taught by different faculty, as a technique for active learning. With an aim to experiment with this technique, students were given challenging real-world problems. The proposal describes the goals of these pedagogic experiments, design constraints, projects content, deliverables, implementation methodology, and quantitative analytics. The ef-fectiveness of ongoing experiments has been assessed over three years with more than 200 stu-dent participants. Statistical analysis and student’s satisfaction survey reveals that a project across courses increases the intrinsic motivation of a student while imparting domain knowledge and life skills.

Owing to the widespread distribution of open‐source robotic software and cheaper hardware, design education in architecture and engineering is evolving to emphasize interactive and dynamic geometries, using new digital media and technologies. However, ethnic minority groups are still underrepresented in technology‐driven changes in architecture, and their career is at risk in the growing tech‐related job markets of the architecture, construction, and engineering (ACE) industry. In this context, the paper addresses college‐level pedagogical issues and learning performance related to introductory robotics education in architectural design studios for the underrepresented minority (URM) students. This article presents the organization of curriculum activities, technical experiments in learning, and teaching experiences in the largest Hispanic‐serving institution (HSI) in the U.S. The academic projects presented exhibit both technical challenges and achievements for URM students to build design competency and tool fluency in a streamlined prototyping of responsive kinetic building fabrication. The effectiveness of computer‐aided design (CAD) technologies (3D printing, sensing, microcontrollers, etc.) for the advancement of minority‐serving design education is discussed to promote design‐learning possibilities and interdisciplinary collaborations associated with science and engineering. Expectations from course objectives are compared with final outcomes to suggest efficient learning strategies and teaching solutions of kinetic architecture.
