    Assessing interactions among students geographically disperse during multinational design projects
    (AMER SOC ENGINEERING EDUCATION, 2014-01-01) Esparragoza, Ivan E.; Lascano Farak, Sheila Katherine; Ocampo, Jared Roberto; Vigano, Roberto; Duque-Rivera Duque-Rivera, Jorge W.; Rodriguez, Carlos A.; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ingeniería de Producción; Tecnologías para la Producción
    The new business model and global operations of many enterprises have brought new challenges for engineers working in multinational companies. These new trends and the need of educating world-class engineers with global competencies have opened opportunities for new educational models to expose students to international experiences to start developing those capabilities. One pedagogical activity used to promote global competencies is the participation of students in multinational design projects, which is a problem-based learning approach in an international setting, where students get immersed in the solution of an engineering design task while they work in teams and collaborate with international partners. Consequently, a collaborative network of institutions from the Americas and Italy has developed and executed collaborative multinational design projects as part of academic experiences for their students. The main goal of these projects is to foster international collaboration and to offer an opportunity to the students to develop professional skills through international teamwork effort in the solution of a design problem. However, a real challenge of this practice has been to create an effective interaction among the students participating in this type of projects and to maintain the flow of information, and student engagement in the project and in their learning. Therefore, this paper reports the work related to an assessment approach used to monitor students' interaction in multinational collaborative projects. The main objectives of the proposed assessment tool are: (a) to evaluate the interaction among the students (frequency, quantity and quality); (b) to determine the value of social interaction in the flow of the interaction; (c) to determine the impact of interaction in the development of the project.

    PLM in a didactic environment: The path to smart factory
    (Inderscience Enterprises Ltd., 2016-01-01) Bedolla, J.S.; Orozco, J.M.; De Jesús Guarín Grisales, Á.; D'Antonio, G.; Chiabert, P.; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ingeniería de Producción; Tecnologías para la Producción
    Universities around the world are teaching PLM following different strategies but most of them are limited to design applications. This paper presents a didactic manufacturing plant where design and production are managed in a PLM environment. During the course, students are exposed to the complexity of managing the production of a modular chess set while at the same time they are asked to fulfil design requirements and meet production, quality and cost goals. Course description and the achieved results are analysed thoroughly. This is the first step to realise a 'learning by doing' modular course in smart factories: future practitioners must be skilled in this theme, which plays a key role for the worldwide competition. The path towards such a course is also presented. Copyright © 2016 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.

    Application of product line commonality index (PCI) in a family of products
    (TRANS TECH PUBLICATIONS LTD, 2014-01-01) Oliver Rubio, M.; Julian Mora, O.; Alvaro Guarin, G.; Pablo Carrizosa, I.; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ingeniería de Producción; Tecnologías para la Producción
    Currently many companies base their marketing strategy around a family of products. Thus, they regularly add new variations to products in order to meet changing market needs, or to attract new customers. Although the basic functionality remains unchanged across products, new features, aesthetic appearance and technologies are incorporated in each new product. This if it is not checked, can generate the "complexity of the product," which leads to a loss of productivity or quality. Thus, the effective management of product variations in design and manufacturing is challenging. The key is minimizing the non-value added variations through models within a range of options without limiting customers. This article discusses the factors that contribute to the "complexity of the product" and this is done through the product line commonality index (PCI) [1], which measures the level of common parts in a product family. A case study of bicycle frame displays its implementation and functionality. The index shows the possibility that the products in a family share parts effectively (modularity) and reduces the total number of parts (multifunctionality). © (2014) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.

    Efecto de un sistema de evaluación de ambiente virtual sobre el rendimiento académico en un curso de Estática en ingeniería
    (Latin American and Caribbean Consortium of Engineering Institutions, 2018-01-01) Pérez J.L.B.; Ochoa J.L.R.; Cadavid A.R.; Calderon J.P.R.; Garcia C.A.R.; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ingeniería Mecánica; Estudios en Mantenimiento (GEMI)
    The engineering department of EAFIT University have developed and implemented an evaluation and training virtual system directed to the engineering students that take the Statics course. The system allows the students of several engineering programs to execute different exercises about specific topics included in the syllabus. The system also allows assessing the students' knowledge through weekly quizzes. With the implementation of the evaluation system, the engineering department aimed at improving the academic performance and the learning process of the students. This paper presents the results of a structural equation modeling analysis. The variables included in the analysis were; time of use of the system, results in quizzes and midterm exams grades assigned by the lecturers. The purpose of the analyses was to test the effect of time of use of the system and grades in the quizzes on academic performance represented by midterm grades (paper-based format). The analysis was performed with the data obtained from both, the virtual system and the course grades during year 2014. The findings suggest that both the time of use of the virtual system and good results in the quizzes have a positive influence on the midterm exams results. Therefore, it is concluded that the use of the virtual evaluation system has a positive effect on the students' academic performance. © 2018 Latin American and Caribbean Consortium of Engineering Institutions.

    Creativity and job tension in experiential learning
    (IEEE, 2018-01-01) Pablo Roman-Calderon, Juan; Esteban Acevedo-Jaramillo, Manuel; Esteban Escalante, Juan; Arias, Alejandro; Aguilar-Barrientos, Sara; Barbosa, Jaime; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ingeniería Mecánica; Estudios en Mantenimiento (GEMI)
    This work-in-progress research paper presents a study on employability skills. Employability or soft skills refer to personality traits, attitudes and behavior that are complementary to professional knowledge. These skills are part of a series of competencies that are intertwined with the engineer's technical work [1]. A high percentage of job success depends on employability skills [2]. A gap exists between the attributes of engineering graduates and company requirements [3]. Experiential learning can develop a myriad of skills required by the workplace. Universidad EAFIT, located in Medellin (Colombia), has developed an experiential learning program called KRATOS. KRATOS was sent an invitation to participate in an international competition that implied designing and building a solar/ electric powered vehicle. Think creatively is a competency that is important for engineering practice across areas, disciplines and countries [1]. Although student competitions that include design activities may enhance a passion for engineering, they can also have negative emotional consequences [4] (i.e. job tension). Using the structural equation modeling technique, the authors of this study analyzed the responses of 334 undergraduate students. The results of the study indicate that job tension significantly decreased over time, whereas no significant change was detected in terms of creativity.

    RELIABILITY OF A CONCEPT INVENTORY TO DETERMINE THE LEVEL OF STUDENTS IN STATICS
    (IEEE, 2018-01-01) Restrepo Garcia, Carlos Andres; Barbosa Perez, Jaime Leonardo; Restrepo Ochoa, Jorge Luis; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ingeniería Mecánica; Estudios en Mantenimiento (GEMI)
    Basic core courses in engineering are often taught and assessed only through procedural approaches, neglecting the conceptual grounds of the subject. In an effort to change that, a Concept Inventory test was applied to 195 students at Eafit University enrolled in Statics. All of the students took the test inside in the campus facilities and were monitored during the whole session to make sure they did not share information. The students took a Computer-Based Test of the Concept Inventory. Three new items were added to the original test of 27 questions, in order to improve the reliability of two specific groups of concepts. For the test was found a mean of 9.7 and a standard deviation of 5.28. For the overall test, the Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.81. The psychometric analyses show that all of the items in the test, except one, present an appropriate fit for discrimination and difficulty parameters of the test. Item 26 was deleted when performing the analysis of sub-scales reliability because presented abnormal value for difficulty. For the cluster of Equilibrium, it was seen that deleting this item resulted in an increase of the alpha from 0.2 to 0.36. For the sub-scale of Free-Body Diagram was seen a decrease in the reliability when two new items were added to it. All of the other sub-scales presented good reliability, most of them, above 0.5. The item-person map shows that the overall latent trait of students is lower than the overall test difficulty, meaning that most of the students found the test difficult. One of the conclusion to be drawn from the results is that the students subjected mainly to procedural approaches in teaching, do not perform well in conceptual tests. The results support the claim that Statics can be seen as a collection of concepts that can be clustered in independent groups for teaching.

    Correlation between procedural and conceptual test in a statics course
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2019-01-01) Garcia C.A.R.; Perez J.L.B.; Ochoa J.L.R.; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ingeniería Mecánica; Estudios en Mantenimiento (GEMI)
    Due to poor performance in Statics at Eafit University, since 2012 the Mechanical Engineering department implemented a virtual tool for the training and assessment of Statics course. Although the implementation led to better performance in the Statics course, students were still showing lack of comprehension of the basic concepts underlying the subject. The department applied a Concept Inventory test to 195 students from the second semester of 2017 in order to check if there was a correlation between the grades obtained in the class examinations and the performance in a conceptual test of Statics. The Concept Inventory was applied one week before the final examination and it was held inside the University facilities. The students were monitored all the time. For the course examinations were taken only three out of the four partial exams, they were computed and then compared to the results of the concept inventory. The results show that almost all the students with the highest grades in the class performed above the mean in the Concept Inventory. The overall mean for the conceptual test was 9.27 and the standard deviation was 5.28. The course grades were discriminated by career and an Analysis of Variance was conducted to determine if there were significant differences among the groups. A correlation analysis suggests that there is not a strong correlation between the course grades and the concept inventory results. One possible explanation for this can be due to the fact that the regular teaching method for these kind of basic courses in engineering in the University is merely procedural and problem-solving oriented, conceptual approaches are often neglected in both teaching and assessment. © 2018 IEEE.

    Dynamic measurements on a Kaplan turbine: Model - Prototype comparison
    (Institute of Physics Publishing, 2019-01-01) Angulo M.; Lucino C.; Botero F.; Rivetti A.; Liscia S.; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ingeniería Mecánica; Estudios en Mantenimiento (GEMI)
    The purpose of this paper is to validate in prototype, the results related to the description of dynamic behaviour obtained in a Kaplan turbine model. A comparative analysis between model and prototype measurement at homologous operation conditions is presented. The phenomena of interest are tip vortex cavitation development and rotor stator interaction (rsi), associated to operation at high power outputs. The selection of suitable signal processing tools allows a clear identification of the role played by the modulation of the main rsi frequencies on cavitation phenomena. The comparison between pressure acceleration measurements on model and prototype at draft tube wall are consistent, both in time and frequency domain analysis. The acceleration measurement at the draft tube wall (manhole) is suggested as a trustworthy dynamic indicator for prediction (model) and monitoring (prototype) purposes. © 2019 Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
