“…Interdisciplinary and integrative fields like DS often require transformation and innovation in educational design practices (August et al 2010). In doing so, innovative teaching strategies can effectively enable students' conceptual, procedural, and cognitive understanding of course concepts (Ramirez-Velarde et al 2016). A study of National Science Foundation (NSF) proposals written by predominantly Science and Engineering faculty has shown that optimal learning outcomes for innovative and interdisciplinary programs include disciplinary grounding, integration, teamwork, communication, and critical awareness (Borrego and Newswander 2010).…”

Learning exercises that activate students’ additional cognitive understanding of course concepts facilitate contextualizing the content knowledge and developing higher-order thinking and problem-solving skills. Student-generated instructional materials such as course summaries and problem sets are amongst the instructional strategies that reflect active learning and constructivist philosophy. The contributions of this work are twofold: 1) We introduce a practical implementation of inside-outside learning strategy in an undergraduate deep learning course and will share our experiences in incorporating student-generated instructional materials learning strategy in course design, and 2) We develop a context-aware deep learning framework to draw insights from the student-generated materials for (i) Detecting anomalies in group activities and (ii) Predicting the median quiz performance of students in each group. This work opens up an avenue for effectively implementing a constructivism learning strategy in large-scale and online courses to build a sense of community between learners while providing an automated tool for instructors to identify at-risk groups.

“…Studies research the effects of learning activities on student's performance. Via a principal component analysis, One of them recognizes the high correlation between the final grades of engineering students and classroom and alternative learning activities, even giving the possibility of abolishing the final cumulative exams [11]. Another one states the authors' idea to permit undergraduates to choose experiential courses that differ from typical major courses in order to involve them in diverse real work environments [12].…”

After suffering some consequences of global warming over the last decades, governments have been adopting different approaches for the sustainable development of nations. Thus, universities have had to adapt their programs to the requirements of the market. This article responds to the need of knowing what Ecuadorian universities think about the modifications in the curricula of electrical engineering programs, such as the inclusion of renewable energy courses. To achieve this goal, the project surveys a representative of ten participant universities. The outcomes show that although most programs have updated their curriculum, they do not count with the necessary resources to teach specialized courses on energy sustainability for the proper formation of future professionals possessing the competences required by the current national energy exploitation scene.
