Departamento de Ingeniería de Sistemas; I+D+I en Tecnologías de la Información y las ComunicacionesVirtual Reality technologies have been successfully incorporated into the learning processes and potential new applications in education are explored continuously. We found that one of the difficulties to popularize its use in the educational context, in countries with emerging and developing economies, is the cost of hardware required to generate satisfactory immersive experience. In this work we considered virtual reality from the perspective of human-computer interaction to support learning processes. The characteristics of low-cost projected virtual reality system (PVR) proposed, combines study and integration of available technology solutions, the development of an image synchronization routine that enables the use of a single video projector and the design of a printable pattern that preserve the state of polarization on the projection screen. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.Ítem The Enterprise and the Management.

Tabares; Giraldo, Liliana; Aguilar, Luis; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ingeniería de Sistemas; I+D+I en Tecnologías de la Información y las ComunicacionesThis paper proposes a model that integrates the knowledge management to the business processes management in order to improve the process performance. The proposal defines the knowledge management flow as an element that interacts with part workflows and provides rules and actions in the BPMN elements in order to improve the BPM. To achieve the aim, first, a survey was made in forty Colombian' companies in order to identify the state of the practice about business process management, knowledge management and their use through the workflows; then, different elements were identified and characterized in order to achieve the integration model proposed. This was experimented in forty business workflows of the companies analyzed. A use case shows how the interactions among model elements are, and how these can improve the process performance. This experience allowed to measuring the effect that the integration had in the business process management by means of a new metric that involve the knowledge management in the workflow. Finally, it was possible conclude that the knowledge management must be part to the BPM impacting directly the workflow, in order to improve the result offered to the organizational actors and customers.Ítem Innovation capsule: Types of innovation(Universidad EAFIT, 2023) Mesa Cano, Jorge Hernán; Universidad EAFITVideo explaining the different types of innovation in companies.Ítem An innovation model in curriculum design for teaching engineering at universidad EAFIT(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2015-01-01) Zea, C.M.; Rodriguez, A.; Bueno, N.A.; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ingeniería de Sistemas; I+D+I en Tecnologías de la Información y las ComunicacionesConstant changes in technology pose continuous challenges for higher education institutions that are training the engineers of the future. These changes are making it necessary to adapt the curriculum in order to develop the skills needed by the XXI century engineer. Moreover, instead of thinking in a large curriculum reform at a specific moment, it is necessary to define curriculum management processes that include change as a natural component of the process. In addition to these global trends, each institution has a particular context and thus, the analysis in each institution has unique characteristics, a common methodological approach, and a reference model that can be built as long as it is flexible enough to include that context. This paper describes a model developed for curriculum management inside the School of Engineering at Universidad EAFIT - Colombia. This model includes the institutional context and is based on a process approach defined by the Business Process Management (BPM) methodology. The model uses the Burlton Hexagon as a theoretical framework to identify organizational structure, strategies, policies, infrastructure, technology tools and human capital. It is also a mechanism for specifying curricular macro processes including the global and institutional context. The proposed model is based on three pillars: (a) scientific research in education, which promotes the use of the scientific method as a strategy to ensure an approach to problems based on evidence which allows the construction of educational innovation projects, (b) education engineering focused on engineering education, which transforms the learning by developing basic, professional, and transversal skills as well as those specific for an engineer of the XXI century, and (c) interactive educational communities, both face to face and virtual, as spaces for knowledge management that support collaborative working and experience-sharing, managed by its members working together promoting initiatives to develop educational innovation projects focused on specific topics, that answer questions related to teaching and learning needs. The formulation and development of educational innovation projects are the responses to different needs identified on specific courses that are transformed into research questions. These projects aim to renew the curriculum so that it dynamically evolves based on classroom experiences. Thus, the curriculum renewal is based on critical thinking about the problems found in engineering education. The use of the scientific method and the collaborative approach enables drawing solid conclusions based on the experimental results. The model proposes the formulation and development of innovative educational projects in which scientific research applied in education aims to transform teaching, academic and administrative practices. As consequence, curricular innovations that integrate learning objects and educational, methodological and assessment strategies, are developed by an interactive learning community composed by teachers. Finally, the results obtained by applying the model in some courses in the School of Engineering of Universidad EAFIT are presented. These results include reducing the drop-out rate of students, redefining admission and graduation profiles, and micro-curricular redesign based on competences using projects, among others. © 2014 IEEE.Ítem An Innovation Model in Curriculum Design for Teaching Engineering at Universidad EAFIT(IEEE, 2014-01-01) Zea, Claudia M.; Rodriguez, Alberto; Bueno, Natalia A.; Universidad EAFIT.

L.; Nino-Ruiz, Elias D.; Pinel, Nicolas; Universidad EAFIT. Escuela de Ciencias; Modelado MatemáticoAir pollution assessment in the Tropical Andes requires a multidisciplinary approach. This can be supported from the understanding of the underlying biological dynamics and atmospheric behavior, to the mathematical approach for the proper use of all available information. This review paper touches on several aspects in which mathematical models can help to solve challenging problems regarding air pollution in reviewing the state-of-the-art at the global level and assessing the corresponding state of development as applied to the Tropical Andes. We address the complexities and challenges that modelling atmospheric dynamics in a mega-diverse region with abrupt topography entails. Understanding the relevance of monitoring and facing the problems of data scarcity, we call attention to the usefulness of data assimilation for uncertainty reduction, and how these techniques could help tackle the scarcity of regional monitoring networks to accelerate the implementation and development of modelling systems for air quality in the Tropical Andes. Finally, we suggest a cyberphysical framework for decision-making processes based on the data assimilation of chemical transport models, the forecast of scenarios, and their use in regulation and policy making. © 2020, Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature.Ítem Organizational Studies: A Complement to the Study of Social Management(Universidad EAFIT, 04/12/2012) María Edith Morales Mosquera; Profesora de planta de la Universidad de Antioquia.

Departamento de Ingeniería de Sistemas; I+D+I en Tecnologías de la Información y las ComunicacionesPrevious studies about the implementation of Total Productivity Management (TPM) in Colombia have shown that this philosophy makes a competitive company stand out internationally, and even makes the difference between survival and death for many of them. Several years after these findings, it is necessary to verify if TPM is still having a leading role, or if it has been discarded or replaced by other strategies or techniques. This article shows the main findings and up-to-date case studies about the implementation of Total Productivity Management in Colombia, which were found in research projects at Universidad EAFIT from 2003 until today. The questions addressed in this paper are: Was TPM established in Colombian companies as a current administration and management trend? What are the main obstacles in the implementation of TPM? Which strategies are followed to overcome these obstacles?Ítem El Simbolismo y la “Cultura Organizacional” De los abusos conceptuales a las lecciones de campo(Universidad EAFIT, 23/05/2002) Omar AktoufÍtem TAG model: Referents to assess the level of ubiquity for a higher education institution(IEEE, 2012-01-01) Zea Restrepo, C.M.; Lalinde Pulido, J.G.; Agudelo, O.; Mejía, C.V.; Núñez, R.A.; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ingeniería de Sistemas; I+D+I en Tecnologías de la Información y las ComunicacionesTAG, in Spanish: Tecnología, Aprendizaje y Gestión (Technology, Learning and Management) is an ubiquitous learning model that aims becoming a point of reference for higher education institutions within their transformation processes in educational innovation. The model is built on three dimensions: Technology, Learning and Management, which are assessed through the identification of categories and properties, and their associated metrics and indicators to determine the levels of ubiquity in a higher education institution, enabling the organizacional diagnosis and the design of strategies to increment the ubiquity level. This paper introduces the conceptual guidelines that enables the definition of the main properties for each one of the TAG dimensions. © 2012 IEEE.Ítem Towards an improved ASUM-DM process methodology for cross-disciplinary multi-organization big data & analytics projects(Springer Verlag, 2018-01-01) Angée, S.; Lozano-Argel, S.I.; Montoya-Munera, E.N.; Ospina-Arango, J.-D.; Tabares-Betancur, M.S.; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ingeniería de Sistemas; I+D+I en Tecnologías de la Información y las ComunicacionesThe development of big data & analytics projects with the participation of several corporate divisions and research groups within and among organizations is a non-trivial problem and requires well-defined roles and processes. Since there is no accepted standard for the implementation of big data & analytics projects, project managers have to either adapt an existing data mining process methodology or create a new one. This work presents a use case for a big data & analytics project for the banking sector. The authors found out that an adaptation of ASUM-DM, a refined CRISP-DM, with the addition of big data analysis, application prototyping, and prototype evaluation, plus a strong project management work with an emphasis in communications proved the best solution to develop a cross-disciplinary, multi-organization, geographically-distributed big data & analytics project. © 2018, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.Ítem Use of a serious game for teaching operations programming: Students' perceptions(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2018-01-01) Carmona Gonzalez G.L.; Pelaez Valencia L.E.; Trefftz H.; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ingeniería de Sistemas; I+D+I en Tecnologías de la Información y las ComunicacionesThis paper describes the experiences in the design, construction and validation of a serious game to be used as a support to teach Operations Management (or Operations Programming) in a Production Engineering program. The aim of this publication is to describe the perceptions of the students during the various development stages of the process. A semi-experimental study was conducted in order to determine the pedagogical effectiveness of the use of the game, but in this paper the authors focus on the perceptions of the students, which may become an important input for other faculty interested on using serious games as support for teaching other engineering courses. © 2018 IEEE.
