Abstract
- We are really interested in improving engineering education by applying an original paradigm. For this reason, the undergraduate course of Signal and Systems was selected as our first field of work, to begin the implementation of this new idea and their promotion within our university community. In this regard, the “active learning approach” (AL) is made up of a series of tools that allow the students to become “actively” involved in the course, getting engaged in the activities proposed to enhance their skills rather than trying to assimilate unilaterally imparted information. The idea is to fight against that sort of teaching which does not take into account that each student learns in a singular way and at a specific pace, and not necessarily in a rigid division of levels. We attempt to foster an active discussion about motivation and commitment of the engineering student, analyzing their performance in challenges that stimulate their problem-solving capacity and that are not based on traditional activities.
