Learning methods in engineering education should evolve to take advantage of the progress of technology. Despite being one of the most important theorems of engineering, at undergraduate level the foundations of sampling theorem are usually oversimplified, whereas at graduate level its proof is frequently presented in the context of a rigorous mathematical framework. This paper presents an interactive approach to illustrate an amenable proof of the sampling theorem through example. Apart from its practical value as a learning tool, the proof captures some mathematical subtleties that can help to understand some more advanced concepts. The goal of this work is to show that learning the sampling theorem through an interactive example of its mathematical proof can be an enjoyable and insightful experience.

“…Quizizz is an application that is narrative and flexible because besides being able to be used for means of delivering material it can also be used for fun learning evaluation media so as to make learning not boring (Kaufhold et al, 2020;Wijana et al, 2018). (Berber & Sowerby, 2018) Stating that Quizizz is in the form of exposure which has very interesting animations and is easy to use. The questions in Quizizz can use images so that it is not too menotonous and the image is also a target to generate interest in learning for early childhood.…”

Along with the times of technology in the field of education, there are many updates in the use of learning media, one example is by using the Quizizz application. The Quizizz application really helps teachers in the teaching and learning process. The Quizizz application has many interesting features, and makes learning more fun. This quizizz application is one of the learning media chosen by teachers to carry out the learning process in early childhood. The purpose of this study was to determine how much impact quizizz learning media has on increasing early childhood learning interest and motivation. This study uses a skinative method in which the data is obtained through the introduction of the quizizz application to early childhood and direct interviews with several parties such as teachers and parents of children. The results showed that the use of the Quizizz application in early childhood was carried out well starting from the planning, implementation, and evaluation stages. From this research it can be concluded that this quizizz application is very helpful in the learning process of children so that children more quickly understand the lessons conveyed by the teacher and with interesting features can also make children's learning motivation increase. The limitation of this research is that researchers only conduct research on early childhood quizizz applications even though there are still many applications that can be used to provide learning motivation in early childhood. Researchers hope that future researchers can conduct research related to early childhood learning motivation but using other learning media. This study recommends that future researchers make research as a reference in conducting research on the impact of quizizz applications in increasing early childhood learning motivation.

“…Among all the above-mentioned learning techniques, the integration of specific software for mathematical analysis as MATLAB [8], Mathematica or Maple having been using as an essential tool for engineering teaching [9]. Even though, this software is becoming more relevant nowadays, the benefits of classical lectures and student notetaking processes are widely recognized.…”

Interactive lecture notes for structural dynamic analysis in frequency domain = Apuntes de clase interactivos para el análisis de la dinámica estructural en el dominio de la frecuencia

Dynamic and experimental analysis of structures are two of the most abstract and complex disciplines in structural engineering, because of its awkward mathematical and physical background and due to the multidisciplinary knowledge needed to go over the whole analysis (from the acquisition of measures up to the final interpretation of results). In particular, Fourier analysis (frequency domain analysis) in discrete time, which is routinely used in the dynamic analysis, is not usually well-understood and even is not well computed in discrete time. Frequently, students lose motivation trying to decrypt difficult mathematical developments, which do not let them to interpret properly complex concepts which are extremely important for current analysis in discrete time such as: Fourier transforms, aliasing, leakage, filtering, windowing, etc. For this reason, the authors has implemented a new teaching tools based on the numerical experiments and interactive learning that transform the learning experience into a more pleasant process than in the pass. In this way, recently-developed tools as “MATLAB Live Editor” allows professors to create interactive lecture notes, which students can easily follow, modify and simultaneously run during classes, developing its own intuitive interpretation of the knowledge. This tool is been successfully employing to teach dynamic analysis of structures in frequency domain with excellent feedback from the students.ResumenEl análisis experimental y dinámico de estructuras son dos de las disciplinas más complejas y abstractas de la ingeniería estructural debido a la complejidad de los fundamentos que se manejan y al conocimiento multidisciplinar necesario para llevar a cabo el proceso completo de análisis (desde la toma de datos hasta la interpretación final de los resultados). En particular, el análisis de Fourier (análisis en el dominio de la frecuencia), el cual se usa continuamente en el análisis dinámico, no siempre se entiende adecuadamente e incluso no se aplica correctamente en el dominio discreto. Con frecuencia los estudiantes pierden la motivación intentando comprender los desarrollos matemáticos asociados, lo que no les permite interpretar adecuadamente conceptos más complejos y a la vez importantes como: la transformada de Fourier, “aliasing”, “leakage”, filtrado, ventanas de ponderación, etc. Por ello, los autores han implementado una nueva herramienta basada en la experimentación numérica y en el aprendizaje interactivo, haciendo del mismo un proceso más llevadero que en el pasado. Así, herramientas recientes como “MATLAB live Editor” permiten que los profesores creen clases interactivas que los estudiantes pueden de forma sencilla, seguir, modificar y ejecutar durante las clases, desarrollando un conocimiento más intuitivo del problema. Los autores están empleando esta herramienta exitosamente en el análisis dinámico de estructuras en el dominio de la frecuencia con muy buenos comentarios por parte de los estudiantes.
