Self-Evaluation E-Learning System for Manufacturing Engineering Subjects

Abstract:

This work presents a project of teaching innovation on the subject Technology of Manufacturing that has been developed for the last five years. The objective is to stimulate students for training through a self-evaluation system based on e-learning tools, in agreement with the guidelines of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA). The system includes a methodology to perform a series of evaluations about theoretical and practical knowledge which allows the student self-learning. The data obtained with the proposed system are analyzed and the effect on student results is discussed. The evolution in time of the student grades, their involvement and satisfaction with the project, and its influence in their final score are presented.
