Publicación Automated assessment and monitoring support for competency-based courses(IEEE Xplore, 2019-03-28) Vargas, Héctor; Heradio Gil, Rubén; Chacón, Jesús; Torre Cubillo, Luis de la; Farias, Gonzalo; Galán, Daniel; Dormido Canto, SebastiánCompetency-based education is becoming increasingly adopted by higher education institutions all over the world. This paper presents a framework that assists instructors in this pedagogical paradigm and its corresponding open-source implementation. The framework supports the formal definition of competency assessment models and the students' evaluation under these models. It also provides distinct learning analytics for identifying course shortcomings and validating corrective actions instructors have introduced in a course. Finally, this paper reports the benefits of applying our framework to an engineering course at the Pontifical Catholic University, Valparaíso, Chile for three years.Publicación Exemplar driven development of software product lines(Elsevier, 2012-12-01) Heradio Gil, Rubén; Fernández Amoros, David José; Torre Cubillo, Luis de la; Abad Cardiel, IsmaelThe benefits of following a product line approach to develop similar software systems are well documented. Nevertheless, some case studies have revealed significant barriers to adopt such approach. In order to minimize the paradigm shift between conventional software engineering and software product line engineering, this paper presents a new development process where the products of a domain are made by analogy to an existing product. Furthermore, this paper discusses the capabilities and limitations of different techniques to implement the analogy relation and proposes a new language to overcome such limitations.Publicación Customized Online Laboratory Experiments: A General Tool and Its Application to the Furuta Inverted Pendulum [Focus on Education](Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2019-09-17) Galán Vicente, Daniel; Chaos García, Dictino; Torre Cubillo, Luis de la; Aranda Escolástico, Ernesto; Heradio Gil, RubénBecause of online laboratories (labs), students can perform experimental activities from their mobile devices and/or computers. This article proposes an experimentation environment (EE) that extends the capabilities of interactive online labs with scripting language support. Thus, control engineering students can specify complex experiments, avoid routine tasks, and empirically test controllers they made themselves.Publicación Scalable Hybrid Laboratories: Application in Industrial Automation(ELSEVIER, 2025-05-27) Vilches, Marco; Vargas, Héctor; Torre Cubillo, Luis de la; Heradio Gil, RubénSome 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.Publicación Evidence-Based Control Engineering Education: Evaluating the LCSD Simulation Tool(IEEE, 2020-09-25) Marin, Loreto; Vargas, Héctor; Heradio Gil, Rubén; Torre Cubillo, Luis de la; Díaz Martínez, José Manuel; Dormido Canto, SebastiánThe advance in control engineering education needs well-designed studies that validate what methods and tools work best. This paper addresses the lack of empirical evidence supporting innovations in control engineering education by proposing a methodology that works at different abstraction levels. Hence, innovations' impact on students' performance can be statistically analyzed either globally or locally by examining competencies or fine-grained indicators, respectively. The article reports the application of the methodology for evaluating an interactive simulation tool, named LCSD, on 101 students at the Pontifical Catholic University of Valparaiso in Chile. According to the experimental results, LCSD is an effective free alternative to enhance the student's skills on control system analysis for our automatic control course. Also, some improvements have been identified for future LCSD versions.Publicación 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, RubénThe 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.Publicación The experiment editor: supporting inquiry-based learning with virtual labs(IOP Science, 2017-03-08) Galán, Daniel; Heradio Gil, Rubén; Torre Cubillo, Luis de la; Dormido Canto, SebastiánInquiry-based learning is a pedagogical approach where students are motivated to pose their own questions when facing problems or scenarios. In physics learning, students are turned into scientists who carry out experiments, collect and analyze data, formulate and evaluate hypotheses, and so on. Lab experimentation is essential for inquiry-based learning, yet there is a drawback with traditional hands-on labs in the high costs associated with equipment, space, and maintenance staff. Virtual laboratories are helpful to reduce these costs. This paper enriches the virtual lab ecosystem by providing an integrated environment to automate experimentation tasks. In particular, our environment supports: (i) scripting and running experiments on virtual labs, and (ii) collecting and analyzing data from the experiments. The current implementation of our environment supports virtual labs created with the authoring tool Easy Java/Javascript Simulations. Since there are public repositories with hundreds of freely available labs created with this tool, the potential applicability to our environment is considerable.Publicación Open-source hardware in education: A systematic mapping study(IEEE, 2018-11-16) Heradio Gil, Rubén; Chacón, Jesús; Vargas, Héctor; Galán, Daniel; Sáenz Valiente, Jacobo; Torre Cubillo, Luis de laThe open-source hardware movement is becoming increasingly popular due to the emergence of successful low-cost technologies, such as Arduino and Raspberry Pi, and thanks to the community of makers that actively share their creations to be freely studied, modified, and re-distributed. Numerous authors have proposed distinct ways to seize this approach for accomplishing a variety of learning goals: enabling scholars to explore scientific concepts, promoting students’ creativity, helping them to be more fluent and expressive with new technologies, and so on. This paper reports a systematic mapping study that overviews the literature on open-source hardware in education by analyzing and classifying 676 publications. The results of our work provide: 1) guidance on the published material (identifying the most relevant papers, publication sources, institutions, and countries); 2) information about the pedagogical uses of open-source hardware (showing its main educational goals, stages, and topics where it is principally applied); and 3) directions for future research.Publicación The Ball and Beam System: A Case Study of Virtual and Remote Lab Enhancement With Moodle(IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers), 2015-06-10) Torre Cubillo, Luis de la; Guinaldo Losada, María; Heradio Gil, Rubén; Dormido Canto, SebastiánWeb-based labs are key tools for distance education that help to illustrate scientific phenomena, which require costly or difficult-to-assemble equipment. Easy Java Simulations (EJS) is an authoring tool that speeds up the creation of these kind of labs. An excellent proof of the EJS potential is the open source physics (OSP) repository, which hosts hundreds of free EJS labs. Learning management systems, such as Moodle, provide social contexts where students interact with each other. The work described in this paper looks for the synergy of both tools, EJS and Moodle, by supporting the deployment of EJS labs into Moodle and thus enriching them with social features (e.g., chat, forums, and videoconference). To test this approach, the authors have created the ball and beam lab, which helps students of automatic control engineering to train different advanced techniques (robust, fuzzy, and reset control), and compare their performance in relation to a conventional proportional-integral-derivative control.Publicación Standardizing course assessment in competency-based higher education: an experience report(Frontiers Media, 2018-06-18) Vargas, Hector; Arredondo, Emanuel; Heradio Gil, Rubén; Torre Cubillo, Luis de laWe examine the implementation of Competency-Based Education (CBE) at the Pontifical Catholic University of Valpara´ıso (PUCV) in Chile, focusing on the challenges associated with assessment methods in measuring students’ competencies accurately. To address these issues, we first introduce the Competency Assessment and Monitoring (C-A&M) model, which aims to standardize and improve course evaluation. Then, two complementary studies are reported: a within-groups design involving 20 Engineering courses and a between-groups design assessing the perceptions of 109 instructors across various faculties, including Law, Philosophy, and Education. Findings indicate that CBE is not yet fully realized at PUCV, with considerable room for improvement in evaluation strategies, alignment of learning objectives with competencies, and synchronization of training activities. However, the implementation of the C-A&M model led to significant enhancements in these areas, providing evidence of its effectiveness in advancing CBE practices.
