TEACHING-LEARNING MODEL BASED ON THE DESIGN OF DIDACTIC EQUIPMENT FOR LABORATORY PRACTICES IN ENGINEERING SCHOOLS

In the last years, the School of Industrial Engineering of Toledo has carried out a teaching-learning model based on the design of didactic equipments performed by senior students. This teachinglearning model have some advantages for students and teachers that make it very interesting in an engineering school. Between these advantages we highlight that: teachers can use low-cost didactic equipments for practical training of engineering students; senior students acquire engineering competences by designing didactic equipments which will be used by junior students; junior students acquire engineering competences by using the didactic equipments designed by senior students.
