"Engineering Education session of the Portuguese and Spanish Chapter of the IEEE Education Society" - 1st part
The COVID-19 lockdown triggered a widespread interest in solutions based on non-traditional (remote and virtual) laboratories, derived from the restrictions imposed on the physical presence of teachers and students in traditional (hands-on) laboratories. Spite the repetition of the advantages associated with the complementary use of remote and virtual laboratories, alongside evidence from its regular use in distance education modalities, "the problem had to appear in order to understand the solution". In other words, although remote and virtual laboratories have a history of more than 25 years, only more recently the discussion about its regular use in STEM education became widespread. Given this background, we present the benefits associated with the complementary use of non-traditional laboratories, alongside traditional laboratories, to support experimental practices in STEM-related courses, or why a hybrid approach is a must.
Biography:
Pedro Fonseca, Portuguese Chapter Chair of the IEEE Education Society.
Francisco Mur, Spanish Chapter Chair of the IEEE Education Society.
Gustavo R. Alves, Professor, ISEP, SPEE, Portuguese Chapter of the IEEE Education Society.
Obtained his PhD and the Habilitation in Computers and Electrical Engineering, from the University of Porto, Portugal, in 1999 and 2023, respectively. He is affiliated with the Polytechnic of Porto - School of Engineering, since 1994, where he now holds a position as Associate Professor. He was involved in 19 national and international R&D projects, has authored, or co-authored 270+ publications, including book chapters, conference, and journal papers with a referee process, and has delivered 70+ invited webinars / keynotes at national and international level. His research interests include engineering education and remote laboratories.

He also serves as AE for the IEEE Journal of Latin-American Learning Technologies.
"Engineering Education session of the Portuguese and Spanish Chapter of the IEEE Education Society" - 2nd part
- Engineers Europe is managing an European project financed by the European Commission, Engineers for Europe (E4E) which tries to define the competencies that the European engineers must have for the future years and create a methodology to continue defining this competencies in the way the development of technology or the needs of the Society change with the years.
- In this project. 13 organisations from 8 countries will be collaborating during 36 months for reaching the main objective “Putting Engineers on the map & how they contribute to Society”
- For obtaining the expected results 6 work packages have been stablished. One for the general management of the project and another one for evaluating the impact, including monitoring, evaluation and quality assurance. The main core of the project are the work packages oriented to creating tools for skills monitoring and anticipation of needs, developing innovative training for the profession and the test and validation of the tools created. Finally, the work package devoted to dissemination of the results.
In this session the Chair of Drones and Civil Aviation of Teruel is presented", presenting its initial approach, its objectives, and the possible lines of activity of the “Cátedra”.
The historical evolution of drones to the devices that are currently being marketed is exposed, including the development of quadcopters, based on the technological capacity of each moment.
The different fields of application, the benefits they bring and the fundamental tasks in which Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) are used are presented in broad outlines. Finally, some applications in which UAS are currently operating are exposed.
