Aragoneses, Andres; Salan, M. Nuria; Hernandez-Fernandez, Antonio – World Journal on Educational Technology: Current Issues, 2017
An important goal for students in engineering education is the ability to present and defend a project in front of a technical audience. We have designed an activity for helping students to work the independent learning and communication skills, while they are introduced in the dynamics of a conference. In this activity, students prepare and…

Oksana, Polyakova; Galstyan-Sargsyan, Ruzana; López-Jiménez, P. Amparo; Pérez-Sánchez, Modesto – Education Sciences, 2020
There has been a constant advance of the labour markets and permanent reorientation towards digital Industry 4.0. Yet, the environments for learning remain unchallenged when it comes to the provision of new professionals across the globe. Therefore, this has created a gap in transversal competences, which has compelled students of higher learning…
