- Abstract
[EN] Technological advances of recent times make soft skills such as critical thinking, problem solving and collaborative work essential for university graduates to progress. Also, due to the ease of access to a large amount of information, alternative teaching-learning methods become necessary to catch the students¿ attention and motivate them to learn. To this end, challenge-based learning has been incorporated into the areas of science and engineering by involving students in real-world problems and in the development of specific solutions. In the context of the courses Transport Phenomena in the Food Industry I and II (Degree in Agrofood Engineering), 24 fourth-year students were challenged to fully describe and design a food process that includes both solid-liquid extraction and a hot air drying unit operation. To this aim, the students worked in groups of 3-4 people under the supervision of the lecturers. Students were asked to deliver 4 different tasks. Deliverable 1 consisted of a flow chart including the main stages of the process, which was carried out from the information found in different bibliographical sources. Along with it, an estimation of the mass flows of raw materials and finished products, together with the specification of the different variables involved in each one of the stages of the process were also submitted to evaluation (deliverable 2). The approach and resolution in an Excel file of those mass and energy balances that, along with other equations and the handling of specific graphs, are necessary to calculate the yield of the whole process and the flow rate and composition of each one of the intermediate streams were also assessed (deliverable 3). After that, students were asked to record a screencast regarding the decision-making and calculations to face the challenge. These screencasts were displayed against a panel of other expert lecturers who gave them some recommendations and evaluated the oral presentation following a rubric. T

- Abstract
[EN] At present, the whole world is facing the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on heath, economics, society, as well as on all education levels. The pandemic has driven an unexpected change from onsite delivery to courses fully or partially delivered online. As a consequence, development and evaluation of the competences defined for each degree will also be affected by these changes, for which activities and methodologies will need to be re-defined and evaluation processes adapted. Oral poster presentation is a learning experience through which students are invited to acquire both specific and transversal competences which are important in a scientific career. To this aim, oral poster presentation has been part of a ¿scientific congress simulation¿ experience in which students of 4th year of Degree in Biotechnology are involved yearly as part of the course ¿Bioprocess and bioproducts¿ (Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería Agronómica y del Medio Natural, Universitat Politècnica de València). Previous years results have confirmed that through this experience students develop specific and transversal competences related to the biotechnologist research profile such as data basis searching, synthesis of information, results interpretation, deadline accomplishment and time management, as well as oral communicative skills. Due to the current situation, an online version of this activity has been piloted during the academic year 2020-21 with the aid of Microsoft Teams. Presential follow-up by teachers has been replaced by regular face-to-face virtual meetings with each student team. Microsoft Teams has also been used as a platform where uploading students¿ deliverables (index of contents, abstract including the entailment of the topic with the sustainable development goals, poster and screencast files). Each student team was asked to record a 5-min screencast to be visualized in a synchronic virtual poster session in front of a panel of experts of three different areas

- Abstract
[EN] In this paper, the use of online exams as part of the evaluation process in the context of blended assessment has been studied. The online exams have been used in three different situations: in an evaluation-proctored exam, in an evaluation-unproctored exam and as a training-homework task. The analysis shows that the students' online mark clearly depends on the way the online exam was performed. It has also been proved that the weight of the online exams in the final mark does not affect the results of the online exams, and that the results obtained in the unproctored environment present a bias towards higher ratings, as well as a greater dispersion of results regarding the case of proctored environment.

- Abstract
In this paper we present a simple experimental set-up to study the fall of a rigid rod, which can freely rotate around an articulated joint at the lowest point. The experimental set-up permits preparation of a laboratory session for physics or engineering students. The analysis of the data is oriented at several degrees of difficulty, in such a way that the same experimental set-up can be used with students on different courses. The experimental data obtained with an electro-optical sensor are fitted to the theoretical equation of motion, obtaining a very good agreement between experiment and theory. In addition, direct measurement of the parameters involved in the equations was carried out, showing a very good agreement with the calculated parameters.

- Abstract
In this paper, smartphone acceleration sensors were used to perform a quantitative analysis of mechanical coupled oscillations. Symmetric and asymmetric normal modes were studied separately in the first two experiments. In the third, a coupled oscillation was studied as a combination of the normal modes. Results indicate that acceleration sensors of smartphones, which are very familiar to students, represent valuable measurement instruments for introductory and first-year physics courses.

- Abstract
This paper makes use of a smartphone's ambient light sensor to analyse a system of two coupled springs undergoing either simple or damped oscillatory motion. The period, frequency and stiffness of the spring, together with the damping constant and extinction time, are extracted from light intensity curves obtained using a free Android application. The results demonstrate the instructional value of mobile phone sensors as a tool in the physics laboratory.

- Abstract
We have used a mobile phone acceleration sensor, and the Accelerometer Monitor application for Android, to collect data in physics experiments on free and damped oscillations. Results for the period, frequency, spring constant, and damping constant agree very well with measurements obtained by other methods. These widely available sensors are likely to find increased use in instructional laboratories.
