“…This wireless network is used as a support tool for teaching in undergraduate engineering programs in Electronic and Computing, providing students a hands‐on experience with emphasis on embedded software design. Research by Alejos uses an experimental platform based on ZigBee wireless sensors for teaching location techniques on wireless systems and radio communications courses at postgraduate level in the Universidad de Vigo in Spain. Zhong et al showed the implementation of a platform for teaching, analysis, and construction of “Mesh” wireless networks.…”

Nowadays, there has been a real change in the traditional (Mexican) methodology for learning and teaching; the teaching of electronic sciences needs to identify the real necessities of students to avoid deficiencies in static classrooms. The benefits of the constructionist theory as a learning paradigm are widely recognized, because they support significant learning environments where students are actively related in implementing their own public artifacts; passing through passive to active learning states. Thus, the constructionist theory stresses the need to understand the student's thinking and to encourage them to reflect on their models as a means to improve them. This article aims to show the results derived from developing a constructionist platform for embedded systems and wireless communications education, using a dedicated methodology based on the constructionist theory. ß

In this contribution we describe an experience about the use of open source software for the realization of Master Thesis (MT) projects. A collaborative learning methodology has been designed. Despite of its doubtless educational value, the introduced tool also presents a significant research dimension. At this moment, the importance of Open source technologies in all the TIC areas is undeniable. Students must acquire competencies in this technology during their studies. Later on, during further education, they can use the basic acquired tech skills in their respective professional disciplines. Team working derives from collaborative methodologies at any level. In this paper we introduce a collaborative experience at the Master Thesis level.
