Active Learning and CDIO Implementation in Colombia
(Conceive Design Implement operate - CDIO, 2013-06-09) Ulloa Villegas, Gonzalo Vicente
In this paper we discuss common problems in Colombian universities in regard to engineering professional programs. We also discuss the reasons to implement a curriculum reform following the CDIO model at Icesi University, and present some preliminary results of implementing this reform, mainly concerning student motivation and attrition reduction The adoption of CDIO model is aimed not only to offer a integral engineering education, increase the quality of our programs, establishing a cycle of continuous improvement and also to encourage students by offering a challenging curriculum that focuse s its professional component on solving engineering problems.
Application of an ant colony metaphor for network address management in MANETs
(IEEE, 2009-09-10) Madrid Molina, Juan Manuel
Address management is a critical process in a computer network. The ownership of a network address is a requisite for every node willing to make part of a network. In adhoc networks, address management is a particularly tough challenge, because of their dynamically changing topology, and the sort of events that occur in their environment. This article proposes a solution to the aforementioned problem, involving the self-organization and emergency principles governing the behavior of social insect colonies. In particular, the solution uses the organization and behavior principles present in ant colonies. © 2009 IEEE.
Proceso de implementación de CDIO en programas de tecnologías de información y comunicaciones
(ACOFI - Asociación colombiana de Facultades de Ingeniería, 2013-09-02) Ulloa Villegas, Gonzalo Vicente
CDIO framework aims to improve the quality of programs that adopt it, setting standards for comprehensive training and defining a process of continuous improvement of curricula. Adopting CDIO implies a comprehensive reform to engineering curricula, including changes in teaching methodologies, evaluation of the learning process, and workspaces, among others. This paper presents the experience of implementing CDIO in two programs in the area of information and communications technologies (ICT). The implementation process was developed with the intention of improving the quality of engineering education, and in response to common problems in Latin America in these areas, particularly in the case of Colombia. Preliminary results are discussed, these are related to student motivation and dropout reduction, focusing on the experience during the implementation of the recommendations of CDIO programs in Systems Engineering and Telematics Engineering.
