Robotics simulators in STEM education

This article discusses STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) education as an initiative from various countries around the world to address young people’s lack of interest in careers in Science, Mathematics, Technology and Engineering. Understanding that STEM education must explore two or more of STEM themes, using transdisciplinarity, engaging the student in activities with this approach, we present the studies of an activity proposal integrating Engineering, Technology and Mathematics with the objective of learning Mathematics. In this activity students work with situations involving robotics and, for solution, use robotic arm simulators, developed in GeoGebra software, that simplify the real environment in which the robotic arm manipulates an object positioned in the plane, taking to organize strategies by identifying and applying mathematics, such as trigonometry with right triangle, trigonometric identities, inverse trigonometric functions, to solve the problem. An experiment was conducted to validate the simulators with undergraduate mathematics students from Universidade Luterana do Brasil (ULBRA) in the city of Canoas in the Rio Grande do Sul state. The results indicate that it is possible to integrate the STEM areas with the developed simulators, being indicated for activities with high school students (10th or 11th grade)

PELATIHAN BERBASIS TEKNOLOGI INFORMASI UNTUK MEMBANGUN APLIKASI MOBIL

SMK N 6 Pekanbaru is one of the vocational schools located in remote areas of Pekanbaru City. In this school there is a Software Engineering (RPL) major that has XII grade students, more than 30 people. The service carried out at this school aims to equip students with technical knowledge of building mobile based application programs. The theme of this service does not overlap with the learning material they get at school. The number of participants is limited to 19 people. The location of the service was carried out at the computer laboratory of SMK N 6 Pekanbaru. The executor of this community service consists of 4 lecturers from STMIK Amik Riau who are accompanied by 2 senior students. The duration of implementation is 2 days. After the implementation of the community service activities, students are expected to have an understanding of the technical aspects of building mobile applications to be able to make applications simply

Using Virtual Cities in Teaching Architecture and Urban Planning:: Auroville

The paper describes the Auroville project, which is in essence, the creation of a virtual and fictional city for use in architectural education. The project is firstly a didactical method for teaching fundamental Computer Aided Architectural Design (CAAD). Furthermore, by encouraging the design of infrastructure projects for the city, the students are initiated in cooperative work practices. Thirdly, as the virtual city has grown, the students have been confronted with urban planning issues such as conservation and renewal. Auroville is a fictive city based on the writings of the Guru Sri Aurobindo. The authors have mapped out the city using CAD software and essentially have created a palette of lots on which students can "build". The lots are assigned or acquired by each student at the beginning of the semester and in a series of exercises stretching over the semester, a built environment is created for these lots. The lot descriptions are connected to a central CAAD server so that a complete threedimensional city file structure is created. This allows the students to see the city as a whole as well as the urban effects of their designs (as well as those of their neighbour's.) In the past three years, approximately 900 students have taken part in the Auroville project. Indeed, the city, as originally laid out, is well nigh full. This led the organisers to focus work on infrastructure issues such as urban transit. Nonetheless, many students wish to continue work on individual parcels. This has also led to planning proposals by the students to "remove and replace" so called unsightly buildings. This has allowed urban planning issues to be raised. As well, the group has attempted to find ways to democratically resolve conflicting views. These resolutions are also used to plan larger scale infrastructure projects. A seminar dedicated to designing light rail transit lines and their stations focused on the balance between commonality and individuality. Auroville can be seen as a microcosm of current urban planning problems. The accelerated speed of development in the city serves the pedagogical role well. The negligible monetary costs in renewing the lots serve to highlight the other costs involved in real-world urban fragment issues such as cultural heritage, time and the image of the city. Current work is focused in three areas. Firstly, on a social engineering level, the authors are seeking to establish a "city council" in order to allow the students to autonomously direct the development of Auroville. Secondly, the technical conversion of the CAAD files into immersive VR files will allow real time exploration of the city. Lastly, the extension and structuring of the CAAD files could allow a wider range of analysis to take place. Additional functionality through and time-based simulation will allow technical issues such as solar gain, wind movement, traffic analysis, etc to be taught using the virtual city Auroville

Content delivery and challenges in education hybrid students

Traditionally, taught postgraduate programmes placed students in well-defined categories such as 'distance learning' and 'on-campus' or 'part-time' and 'full-time'. The practical reality is that postgraduate students rarely fall into such simple, diametric roles and can be more suitably generalised under the concept of the 'hybrid student'. Hybrid students are dynamic, with changing requirements in relation to their education. They expect flexibility and the ability to make changes relating to module participation level, study mechanism and lecture attendance, in order to suit personal preference and circumstance. This paper briefly introduces the concept of the hybrid student and how the concept has been handled within the School of Electronic Engineering at DCU. Following this, some discussion is provided in relation to a number of the content delivery technologies used in programmes facilitating these students: HTML, PowerPoint, Moodle, DocBook and Wiki. Finally, some of the general challenges, which have been encountered in supporting such diverse students, are briefly discussed

Implementation of video feedback to assist the learning of presentation skills

This paper describes the implementation of an online video resource for both postgraduate and undergraduate students with the aim to improve the learning of presentation skills. As part of the final year project in this last academic year, presentations were recorded at the start of the second semester. These were then made available to the students during week eight of the semester over the web via student specific portal pages. The student's marks and feedback from the lecture assessors on the presentations were also made available. The students were also recorded during their final presentations at the end of the semester. The changes in student grades were examined and compared to those over the previous six years when such feedback was not available. The resource was also designed to aid lecturers to view presentations they may have missed and enter marks for their allocated students
