“…In Figure 2 shown, the points of the three assessment type of each student show that only one student self-reported that he failed, because he likes the traditional learning method more and most were comfortable with PBL, as demonstrated by above average points. I wish to mention that it's very important to listen to the students, because they can help to improve the learning process between professor and students [24].…”

“…To improve the teaching-learning process in Mexico, it is necessary that professors interconnect the knowledge obtained by the program curricula horizontally and vertically [24], in order to improve the cognitive process of students in the first semesters, in order to form most critical students [31]. It is due to frequently students ask themselves about the usefulness of some courses, as they do not manage to see any concrete application coming from them [24].…”

“…Once the different proposed steps were accomplished, we concluded that the purpose was satisfactorily reached with an increment in creative ability. The most important fact is that the percentage of failure among students was 57%, 50%, 28% and 18% from 2005 to 2008, respectively [23].…”

“…Son relevantes los resultados derivados de los trabajos de Regalado-Méndez donde se ha destacado en la estrategia enseñanza-aprendizaje seguida en el ABP la integración de conocimientos de varias materias. Así en la Universidad del Mar, México, se contrastó el éxito del ABP en estudiantes de grado en ingeniería ambiental que integraron conocimientos de informática, álgebra lineal y bioquímica (Regalado-Méndez et al, 2010b). Y en el ámbito de la ingeniería química también se ha aplicado el ABP integrando los conocimientos de varias asignaturas contrastándose un menor número de fracasos en el alumnado (Regalado-Méndez et al, 2010a).…”

ResumenEn este trabajo se exponen los resultados de una aplicación y evaluación de la Metodología didáctica específica denominada Aprendizaje Basado en Problemas (ABP) en estudiantes de Construcciones Agrarias. El trabajo se ha efectuado durante el curso 2015-16 en dos grupos de alumnos del Grado de Ingeniería Agrícola de la Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería de la Universidad de Huelva (España). El estudio incluyó la aplicación de la metodología didáctica específica y su evaluación. La evaluación se ha efectuado empleando un método cuasi-experimental. El diseño del ABP ha requerido una programación cuidadosa, incluyendo una parte significativa de trabajo autónomo por el estudiante. Los resultados muestran que el ABP es preferible a otra didáctica tradicional expositiva ya que se observa una diferencia significativa en la adquisición de conocimientos por los alumnos. Palabras clave: aprendizaje basado en problemas; formación de ingenieros; método cuasi-experimental; construcciones agrarias The evaluation of a Problem-Based Learning approach in a graduate Agrarian Constructions program AbstractThis paper presents the results of a study into the implementation and evaluation of problem-based learning (PBL) methodology in an Agrarian Constructions program. The study was carried out during the academic year 2015-2016 with two groups of students of the degree in Agricultural Engineering of the School of Engineering at the University of Huelva in Spain. The study included the implementation of this novel approach and its evaluation. The evaluation was performed using a quasi-experimental method. Programming a course of PBL demands careful planning and the inclusion of a significant amount of selfdirected work by students. The results indicated that there is a significant difference in the acquisition of knowledge by students, suggesting that PBL should be preferred instead of the more traditional lecturebased approaches.

The degradation efficiency of chloroquine phosphate (CQ), an anti-COVID-19 drug, was investigated in a flow-by electrochemical reactor (FBER) provided with two boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrodes (as cathode and anode) under batch recirculation mode. A central composite rotatable design (CCRD) was run down to model and assess the influence of initial pH in an interval of 3.71 to 11.28, the current density in an interval of 34.32 to 185.68 mA cm −2 , and liquid volumetric flow rate in an interval of 0.58 to 1.42 L min −1 , and conduct the convex optimization to obtain the maximum degradation efficiency. Experimental results were modeled through a second-order polynomial equation having a determination coefficient ( R 2 ) of 0.9705 with a variance coefficient of 1.1%. Optimal operating conditions found (initial pH of 5.38, current density ( j ) of 34.4 mA cm −2 , and liquid flow rate ( Q ) of 1.42 L min −1 ) led to a global maximum degradation efficiency, COD removal efficiency, and mineralization efficiency of 89.3, 51.6 and 53.1%, respectively, with an energy consumption of 0.041 kWh L −1 within 9 h of treatment. Additionally, a pseudo-zero-order kinetic model was demonstrated to fit the experimental data and the calculated pseudo-zero-order kinetic constant ( k app ) was 13.14 mg L −1 h −1 (2.54 × 10 −5 mol dm −3 h −1 ). Furthermore, the total operating cost was of 0.47 US$ L −1 . Finally, this research could be helpful for the treatment of wastewater containing an anti-COVID-19 drug such as CQ.
