    Scalable Hybrid Laboratories: Application in Industrial Automation
    (ELSEVIER, 2025-05-27) Vilches, Marco; Vargas, Héctor; Torre Cubillo, Luis de la; Heradio Gil, Rubén
    Some of the most critical competencies that automation and control students must acquire to become capable engineers require hands-on laboratory expe- riences under conditions that closely resemble real-world work environments. However, current practical laboratories often face challenges in recreating re- alistic and scalable industrial contexts, making it difficult to develop these competencies. This article presents the development and implementation of a hybrid laboratory proposal to address these challenges. The prototype, de- signed for training automation engineers, integrates real control devices with simulated digital replicas of processes, allowing the scalability of the system to address a wide variety of industry-like scenarios. The general design, its physical and virtual implementation, the communication of its components, and the installation and operation context are detailed. The article concludes with the potential advantages and benefits of the hybrid laboratory from an academic teaching perspective, the training of industry professionals, and the technical optimization of the engineering problem addressed.

    A Pragmatic Framework for Assessing Learning Outcomes in Competency-Based Courses
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2024-01-19) Vargas Oyarzún, Héctor; Heradio Gil, Rubén; Farias, Gonzalo; Lei,,Zhongcheng; Torre Cubillo, Luis de la
    Contribution: A competency assessment framework that enables learning analytics for course monitoring and continuous improvement. Our work fills the gap in systematic methods for competency assessment in higher education. Background: Many institutions are shifting toward competency-based education, thus encouraging their educators to start evaluating their students under this paradigm. Previous research shows that structured assessment models are fundamental in guiding educators toward this adoption. Intended outcomes: An assessment model for competency-based education that is easy to adopt and use, while facilitating the application of learning analytics techniques. Application design: The new framework considerably extends a prior model we proposed three years ago. Two engineering competency-based courses used the framework for assessment. Assessment rubrics were prepared and used for evaluating and collecting the students’ data progressively, thus enabling the use of learning analytics for decision-making. Findings: Thanks to the model, (i) students received a detailed report of their achievements, including a thorough explanation and justification of the evaluation criteria; and (ii) instructors could improve the course and provide objective evidence of their actions to quality assurance agencies. As a result, the framework is presently being used in fifteen courses taught at eight different university degrees at the Pontifical Catholic University of Valparaiso (PUCV).

    Using IoT-Type Metadata and Smart Web Design to Create User Interfaces Automatically
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2023-02) Chacón, Jesús; Chandramouli, Rajarathnam; Torre Cubillo, Luis de la; Chaos García, Dictino; Heradio Gil, Rubén
    The advent of the Internet of Things has generated loads of data from the devices that are now connected to the Internet. While the majority of the data corresponds to measurements done by these devices, there is a second type of information (the metadata) that provides information about the devices themselves. Most of this metadata is still underused when used at all. On the other hand, the graphical user interfaces that allow operating and/or monitoring the connected devices from a computer or smartphone, are usually programmed from zero. However, the metadata that describes the main properties of the devices (i.e., inputs, outputs, precision, range, etc.) can be used along with smart web design techniques to automatically create these interfaces. This article proposes a framework to achieve this, and presents an application example consisting of an online lab of a servo-motor.
