This paper makes a general presentation of this site, with emphasis on an application dedicated to reluctance synchronous motor. There are presented the construction, operation principle, equations and a few characteristics in...
The demand for engineers has always been high in growing countries, however, the world's seventh largest economy, Brazil, is still far from being one of the places with highest development in engineering. Through the normal curricula, high school students often learn theory only and investment is not made in the practical part, as a consequence the interest in engineering is low. Creating a design...
Despite the rapid advances in technology relatively few are focused on special education, or the education for people with profound and multiple disabilities. One of the main causes for this to happen is that there is little incentive for companies to design and manufacture technology for a target group of customers without major buying power, or one that makes up a relatively small proportion of...
Our current students belong to a new generation that lives with Internet, uses computers, and plays video games as natural skills. For that generation, education based on traditional classes is difficult. In this contribution, we propose learning RADAR fundamentals by using video games. The newly designed game is described, and has been tested by a group of students. Their learning results are promising...
Quality education leading to potential employment is essential for the growth of a nation. This still remains a challenge in India despite much contemporary technological advancement. It is also an evident fact that, the major hiring sectors like IT and manufacturing are facing a slow-down and hence an immediate impact on unemployment. The issue of excess of educated unemployed students must be addressed,...
The popularization of digital educational devices with low barriers to entry has encouraged the development of many training activities oriented towards the incorporation of technology in schools. In some cases, the introduction of technology has led to the development of new educational practices that support the development of computational thinking.
