    Dynamic reconfiguration in FPAA for technical and nontechnical education in a global environment
    (Wiley, 2021) Macho Aroca, Alejandro; García Teruel, Manuel; García Loro, Félix; Baizan, Pablo; Blázquez Merino, Manuel; Díaz Orueta, Gabriel; Gil Ortego, Rosario; Castro Gil, Manuel Alonso; Sancristóbal Ruiz, Elio; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3978-0692; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5454-456X; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5445-2377; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0117-8794; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6462-9196; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2102-977X
    Some engineering concepts have been proven to be very important not only in engineering degrees but in several areas. This knowledge is difficult to grasp under certain circumstances, and sometimes prior training is needed. This is a special challenge in full or part remote education. Simulations may help in this area, but truly experimental lab practices are crucial to grasp all the required knowledge and not only for fundamental information but for complex or indirect knowledge, where students can apply what they have learnt in classes. In this paper, we have worked on a concept to help professors and students to get new concepts in a more time-efficient and safe manner, using dynamic reconfiguration in Field-Programmable Analog Array. This solution can be easily applied to traditional or remote labs in less time than usual practices, so students can learn more in the same amount of time, especially when time is a constraint.

    MOOC-Based Flipped Classroom for On-Campus Teaching in Undergraduate Engineering Courses
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2023-06-22) Pertuz, Said; Reyes, Oscar; Sancristóbal Ruiz, Elio; Meier, Russell; Castro Gil, Manuel Alonso
    Contribution: This work studies how to integrate massive open online courses (MOOC) into traditional, face-toface, undergraduate engineering courses. Background: Massive Open Online Courses emerged as an innovative trend in online learning with distinctive and attractive features, such as ease of access and cost-effectiveness for large audiences. For this reason, they have attracted a lot of attention for their potential in contributing to global challenges in contemporary engineering education. However, the integration of MOOCs into traditional, on-campus courses and programs in higher education remains an open problem. Research question: What is the most effective MOOC-blending strategy for traditional, on-campus engineering programs? Methodology: To answer this question, f irst a literature review was conducted on the utilization of MOOCs within face-to-face undergraduate education. Based on this literature review, this work advocates for the MOOC-based f lipped (MBF) classroom as the strategy with the highest potential for MOOC-based blending. The main pedagogical and design principles of this methodology are described and a case study is presented on a cohort of students (N=23) enrolled in a Digital Signal Processing course within an undergraduate Electronics Engineering program. This is a position paper based on evidence from the literature, but the case study is used to illustrate how the MBFdesign principles can be implemented in practice. Findings: The results suggest that the MBF methodology is a growing trend in undergraduate engineering education with the potential to facilitate student’s active learning in synchronous face-to-face sessions while fostering the adoption and usage of MOOCs.

    The Middle East Higher Education Experience: Implementing Remote Labs to Improve the Acquisition of Skills in Industry 4.0
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2023-12-13) Al-Zoub, Abdallah; Sancristóbal Ruiz, Elio; Shahroury, Fadi R.; Castro Gil, Manuel Alonso
    In the ever-evolving landscape of technology, Industry 4.0 stands as a monumental revolution that intertwines man and machine, reshaping the dynamics of labor and work environments. This paradigm shift demands a new outlook and necessitates a fresh set of skills and competencies to navigate the intricate web of advancements. From engineers to entrepreneurs, programmers to workers, the fourth industrial revolution mandates a versatile skillset to embrace its technological leaps. Amidst this transformation, the role of remote labs emerges as a potent platform, offering efficient and dependable means to cultivate students’ expertise, thus preparing them for the dawn of the Work 4.0 era. This article delves into the story of Princess Sumaya University for Technology, shedding light on its ingenious employment of remote labs to provide students with a firsthand encounter with Industry 4.0. Furthermore, it explores innovative assessment techniques to foster virtual collaboration, social intelligence, and communication skills among students, highlighting remarkable enhancements in performance and achievements.

    Vulnerability Assessment of Learning Management Systems
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2023-03-21) Sancristóbal Ruiz, Elio; Pastor Vargas, Rafael; Gil Ortego, Rosario; Meier, Russ; Saliah-Hassane, Hamadou; Castro Gil, Manuel Alonso
    This paper presents a vulnerability assessment of a class of web applications designed to serve educational coursework to online users. We describe the deployment landscape, the known vulnerabilities institutions must be aware of, and document how non-supervised deployment puts institutions at risk from cybercriminals.

    Building Compliant Pocket Labs with IEEE STD 1876-2019: A Step Forward
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2025-01-01) Martin Fernandez, Ricardo; García Loro, Félix; Sancristóbal Ruiz, Elio; Rodríguez Artacho, Miguel; Saliah Hassane, Hamadou; Castro Gil, Manuel Alonso
    The adoption of standards plays a decisive role in achieving interoperability in educational technology. Remote laboratories have already proven their value in engineering education, but the variety of isolated solutions limits the consolidation of a shared framework. This paper explores how Pocket Labs —decentralized, low-cost remote laboratories— can be aligned with the IEEE 1876-2019 standard and outlines a roadmap for their integration into the Lab as a Service (LaaS) and Learning Object layers defined by the standard. Using a case study based on accessible hardware, we show that it is possible to create compliant laboratories while remaining adaptable to contexts where traditional infrastructures are not available. Beyond the technical alignment, the study examines how Pocket Labs can enrich learning by supporting experimental practice and teamwork by means of a comparison with initiatives such as LabsLand and WebLab-Deusto and illustrates both shared challenges and specific advantages of this approach and how they tackle with the compliance requirements of the standard.

    European Robotics Week to introduce robotics and promote engineering
    (Wiley, 2018-06-28) Plaza, Pedro; Carro Fernandez, German; García Loro, Félix; Blázquez Merino, Manuel; Castro Gil, Manuel Alonso; Sancristóbal Ruiz, Elio
    We present an activity framed within the European Robotics Week event. Robotics and computational practice are ideal tools for developing science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) pedagogy. A modular and adaptive hands-on workshop is described in detail. The workshop is based on multiplatform educational robotics content as a first step into the robotics world. Three educational tools are used to introduce examples of robotics applications. The operational details, materials, and examples of activities for selected modules are presented with the expectation that all teachers can adapt these activities to their classes. Despite the small number of students, the experience delivered results that might be useful for other instructors to promote workshops with similar or identical content to generate further benefits. This study demonstrates that it is important to combine theory and practice and include fun tasks that intertwine the challenges of applying theory to problem solving. Furthermore, the results show how the same content can be deployed using three different robotics education tools.
