‘Learning by Doing’ Methodology Applied to the Practical Teaching of Electrical Machines

An educational improvement and innovation project has been initiated in the Electrical Machines area of the Escola Universitària d’Enginyeria Tècnica Industrial de Barcelona (EUETIB) with the support of the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC) and the assistance of its Department of Electrical Engineering. One of the main tasks performed within the project framework has been the design of a new active methodology for laboratory sessions. This methodology is an adaptation of the ‘learning by doing’ method to the singularities of practical work in electrical machines courses. The development and implementation of this active, student-centered methodology has yielded excellent results and allowed electrical machines courses to be accommodated to UPC’s new educational models in the European High Education Area (EHEA) context. In this new environment, students play a more active role in the teaching and learning process.
