Consolidated Teaching Innovation Group

Structure, Properties and

Materials Processing

(GIDC- ePPM )

 

The GIDC-ePPM searches alternatives that complement the teaching that is imparted to classrooms and laboratories with the preparation of new educational material that can be used in non-presence credits by the self-instruction as well as by the selfevaluation.

 

THE GROUP

The group of Educational Innovation in Structure, Properties and Processed of Materials (e-PPM) was formed in the year 2003 in the approval of the Unit of Materials Science and Metallurgical
Engineering of the Department of Chemical Engineering and Metallurgy in order to agglutinate a series of specially worried teachers for imparting a teaching of quality and offer to their students the opportunity of training more broadens that the one that could be given in those moments due to lack of hours school.

The new technologies were presented like a specially valuable tool for achieving the goals. The Group was recognized by groups of Educational Innovation (2003GIDVC-UB/07) to the same year for the University of Barcelona in the call. Once the Department of Science of the Materials and Metallurgical Engineering (2005) had been created, the Group continued working in their goals and in year 2006 it was recognized by the University of Barcelona such as Group of Educational Innovation Consolidated (2006GIDC-UB/33).

 

The group consists of the following Members:

Josep María Chimenos i Ribera
Montserrat Cruells i Cadevall (Coordinadora)
Ferran Espiell i Alvarez
Anna Inés Fernández i Renna
Gemma Garcia i Recasens (Becaria)
Mònica Martínez i López
Pere Molera i Solà
Núria Llorca i Isern
Antoni Roca i Vallmajor
Mercé Segarra i Rubí
Esther Vilalta i Martí
Joan Viñals i Olià
Elena Xuriguera i Martin

In year 2008 it has been renewed by the University of Barcelona like Group of Educational Innovation Consolidated (2008GIDC-UB/33). One of the assets that the Group is more satisfied is the heterogeneity of their components, which enriches it in knowledge, as well as in experience and skills. The process of implantation of the European Space of Higher Education has validated the goals of the Group and motivates them to continue working.

 

The group has designed and has carried out, in collaboration with the Unit of Support to the Teaching, the following Applicatives:

  • AUTOMAT is a program for the selfevaluation. For each subject there are 25 questions of different level, with four possibilities of answer and so much you use one correct. The student can evaluate his degree of knowledge of each subject and know it is necessary to him in which points to penetrate.
  • DEIWEB is a tool in the that the students of Chemical Engineering can learn to select the best material for a determinate very concrete and simple application. It is a matter of the student internalizing the methodology that allows him to manage to choose the best material depending on some previous requirements based on the mechanical design. The program has positioned on the platform MOODLE.
  • MICROMET is a data base with different metals and alloys. A card can be found by each one with nomenclature, composition, classification, microstructure, properties, diagrams of phases and of thermal treatment. Find marked the key words and a glossary. It is complemented with a survey of evaluation of the applicative and an e-mail for consultings. As a complementary tool for the teaching a questionnaire has been prepared.The coordinates to have acces to it are:
usuari (user): alumne
contrasenya (password): quimiques
  • PROCER, taking the MICROMET as a model, an applicative has been carried out in that different ceramic materials are picked up with their compositions, raw materials used by obtaining them, products that form them, macro and microstructures, diagrams of phases, methods of obtaining, properties of being shaped and applications.

 

The group carries out the following Projects:

For introducing the made work, the following Publications have been carried out:

 

And the following Congresses and Conference have been participated:
