“…Araştırmanın sonucunda deney grubundaki katılımcıların uzamsal yeteneklerindeki artışın kontrol grubundakilere göre anlamlı düzeyde yüksek olduğu belirlenmiştir. Kurtuluş ve Uygan (2010) da uzamsal yeteneği artırmak amacıyla 48 öğretmen adayı ile gerçekleştirdiği araştırmasında Google SketchUp'ı (GSU) kullanmış ve GSU kullanımının uzamsal yeteneği anlamlı düzeyde artırdığı sonucuna ulaşmıştır. Toto (2011) Cabri3D yazılımının uzamsal yeteneğin beş alt başlığına etkisini araştırmıştır.…”

“…In the first section, students were taught to learn using Sketchup online; a powerful tool to visualize structural elements for the robot. The basic operations for drawing a 3D model have been presented to students; after few hours, some students felt more interested for drawing some items of their daily life, this experience resulted in agreement with reports in literature, it allowed developing student's creativity and spatial imagination using a 3D dimension environment .…”

In this paper, an ultra low‐cost line following robot is presented. The robot is developed through the integration of free educational software and low cost electronics and mechanical devices with the aim of been used as a teaching and learning tool to increase the students confidence/performance and interest in engineering areas. The cost for building this robot‐based educational tool and its related activities is less than 25 USD. Students were encouraged for building its own unique designs using cardboard and open‐source software and hardware. The activities promoted the increase in knowledge and developed student's technical skills such as the use of electronic circuits and sensors, three dimension designs, learning to programming animations and microcontrollers, building self‐made structural and mechanical elements using cardboard and the use of the Bluetooth protocol to achieve the interconnection of devices through the use of an Android based Smartphone. The activities have been developed to allow students to apply and test their own ideas and concepts for solving problems through the computational thinking process and finding digital solutions through programming microcontrollers, all of them in the frame of the maker movement and the inclusion of the arts in the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education. The results of confidence/performance and interest evaluation tests allowed to identify the main areas of gain knowledge and the increasing interest in the engineering fields presented in this work.

“…In some experienced, the Sketchup program was used to evaluate notions of geometry in the subject of mathematics and to relate transversal views of 2D sections with 3D objects (Kurtulus & Uygan, 2010). Other studies attempted to evaluate understanding by means of drawing tools and to respond to how these affect designers' process of drawing (Lee & Yan, 2016).…”

This paper presents the analysis of 801 damage occurrences in building roofs, which were classified qualitatively as well as quantitatively. They have been correlated according to the type of roof in question, and the most frequent situations have been determined. The prevalence of the causes behind these problems is indicated, and a technical discussion concerning each one is presented. These results provide property developers, designers and construction managers with information on the critical points of roofs, as a way to minimize defects in their building sites. This damage analysis provides a series of lessons learnt in order to improve the quality of construction in general.Key words: Roofs, research, anomalies, recurring, damage, Spain. ResumenEsta investigación presenta el análisis de 801 daños relativos a las cubiertas de edificios, los cuales han sido clasificados cualitativa y cuantitativamente. Se han correlacionado los mismos según el tipo de cubierta donde se daban, así como determinado cuáles eran las situaciones más recurrentes. Se informan e indican de los valores porcentuales de las causas que han provocado dichos daños, incluyendo una discusión técnica para cada una de ellas. Con todos estos resultados se ofrece a los promotores, proyectistas y responsables de obras cuáles son los puntos críticos de las cubiertas como forma de minimizar los defectos en sus obras. El análisis de estos fallos nos proporcionará una serie de lecciones aprendidas para mejorar la calidad de la construcción en general.
