Engineering Education through eLearning technology in Spain

Abstract

46-Abstract -eLearning kind of education is stirring up all the disciplines in the academic circles, especially since it provides an access to educational areas that are uneasy and traditionally inperson, such as Engineering. Even though it had an outbreak in some of the most prestigious American universities, eLearning has being a reality in Spain for some years now, changing educational and teaching habits. To ensure a proper education is not an easy task with it comes to engineering fields, therefore this article shows an update on the works developed on this issue and the technologies they used. In this report it is given a perspective of the intimate relationship between the eLearning method of learning and the studies of Engineering in Spain, through the TIC development and the current educational legislation. In this regard, teaching examples are given on several subjects of different engineering studies, emphasizing the good results obtained in the abovementioned experiences. Below here is a evaluation on the results obtained in the analyzed studies.

An Empirical Study on E-Learning versus Traditional Learning among Electronics Engineering Students

“…In this process, the delivery of the course exercises, its correction and the feedback generated is performed by the system automatically. Rodríguez et al (2013) proposed that the Artificial Intelligence techniques were integrated into the e-learning platform of the engineering laboratory practices (System and Automation Engineering Laboratories) to form a teacher-cognitive system combination.…”

“…In engineering education, previous studies generally found a positive relationship between traditional learning and e-learning (Rodríguez et al, 2013;Soler, 2010;Soler et al, 2006;Ubell, 2000). Previous developments on e-learning have involved computer-based assessment platforms for teaching and learning, Artificial Intelligence applications and autocorrect functions in e-learning platforms (Rodríguez et al, 2013;Soler, 2010;Soler et al, 2006).…”

Legal Issues Concerning P2P Exchange of Educational Materials and Their Impact on E-Learning Multi-Agent Systems

“…Form childhood on every student counts on the possibility of getting every imaginable document at a few clicks of distance. Mobile or navigational agents are the perfect tool for facilitating the students the task of search and retrieving of knowledge in any form [11]. We should make our agents more copyright-violation conscious than our students likely will be.…”

The effect of attendance on student performance: implications of using virtual learning on overall performance

“…Hence, e-learning method may be seen as less effective than traditional methods of learning, as it has a negative impact on the development of communication skills of the learners. Researchers have claimed that elearning is more suitable in social science and humanities than the fields such as medical Effect of attendance on student performance science and engineering where there is the need to develop practical skills (Peterson and Feisel, 2002;Fernandez-Rodriguez et al, 2013). Thus, not all educational disciplines can effectively implement e-learning in their curriculum, e.g.…”
