Resultados del Proyecto de Innovación y Mejora Educativa. Utilización de MATLAB como estrategia didáctica y de coordinación horizontal y vertical entre asignaturas del Grado de Ingeniería Química

Chemical Engineering use mathematics models in order to describe Industrial processes behavior. Nowadays, numerical software packages are a help in the acquisition of skillsin Chemical Engineering degree. In this context Matlab is software used in process simulation. For this reason, several lectures of Escuela Politecnica Superior d’Alcoi presented an innovation and improvement educational research project (PIME) in order to used MATLAB, like coordination teaching tool between some subjects. The principal purpose of this work is the students improvement using, as has been mentioned previously, MATLAB in a problem-based learning methodology- This methodology allows a more effective coordination in the degree. The present paper presents the PIME objectives and the first results obtained.
