Abstract: EDUNINE - IEEE World Engineering Education Conference is one of the renowned flagship conferences of the IEEE Education Society organized jointly with COPEC for Region 9 (Latin America). In these times of unexpected events around the world, the organizers and their partners have committed to provide a different experience for authors and participants and thus decided to offer a distinct style of conference. The conference will be a hybrid conference, with online and in-person presentations in Latin American cities/countries that hosted previous EDUNINE editions and in Spain and Portugal. It is an innovation and has been named after smart distributed conference - distributed across multiple interconnected locations in order to maintain the best of both face-to-face and online conferences. Authors have the option of choosing how to present their work, either as an “in-person participant” in one of the conference cities or as an “online-only participant” using the online platform. |

Social Meeting: You are invited to the Virtual Monday Brunch that we are hosting for all of our participants. Please also invite all your co-authors to this social event to relax over a meal, learn something, and talk about the topic at hand with a special guest we have chosen for today. It's time to meet new faces and make new friends! Take these two hours off and celebrate the hard work you have been doing by joining us - virtually, of course! |
Theme: When we click to send a paper, we have an interior doubt, fear, and uncertainly. We worked for two or three years, unnumbered versions and many hours in front of our computer. Our dilemma is: how the journal community will evaluate it? For this reason, we prepared a virtual brunch meeting with André Jun, Publishing Relationship Manager at Emerald Publishing. We will talk about the publishing process and the internal process in the journal community. This virtual lunch will have four parts:
Andre will present a revision process roadmap explaining the roles: author, editor, reviewer. Always Andre says patience, patience, patience; and take a big breath when you receive a message. In this virtual brunch, make an exceptional American Pizza and ….black coffee and join us. |

Abstract: Until 2020, engineers’ training in Argentina was strictly face-to-face. Few engineering curricula had substantive and relevant virtual contributions. The appearance of a highly contagious virus changed everyone's life. In the academic field, teachers, students and university managers had to adjust their usual practices to a new and uncertain reality. In general, the experience of virtualization and remote teaching was successful despite the urgency implied. Coming out of that time of pandemic and emergencies, it’s worth asking: Shouldn’t education processes change? How should universities capitalize on these pandemic experiences? In this plenary conference, the authors expose the global and local scenario of pre-pandemic engineering faculties, reflect on the intra-pandemic virtualization process and describe the path back to face-to-face learning that they are experiencing. Consensus, and conciliation of particular rights and conveniences should be the rule in this new scenario which represents an opportunity to reinvent attendance and transform engineering careers. |

Towards gender equality in engineering programs. A case study. - Paper # 622 |
Speaker: Sonia Helena Contreras-Ortiz |
Authors: Vilma V. Ojeda-Caicedo, Cristina Osorio Del Valle, Jose L. Villa Ramirez, Sonia H. Contreras-Ortiz |
Abstract: The low participation of women in STEM fields is considered a critical issue in our society. We analyzed the student population by gender of the school of engineering at Universidad Tecnológica de Bolívar. We found that the share of female first-time students shows a decreasing trend since 2015 and was only 24\% in 2020. Gender gaps are wider in electrical, electronic, systems, mechanic, and mechatronic engineering. We also observed that females have lower access to engineering programs, especially in the last three years. The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have been observed as a reduction of the share of enrolled students vs applicants. In order to increase the participation of women in the programs with higher gender gaps, we developed several activities in 2020 specially designed for secondary students with the participation of female instructors as role models. |

CANCELLED-MOVED TO English Online Session 6: Work in Progress: Implementation of a Digital Twin as Technology to support Discrete Event Control Teaching - Paper # 624 |
Speaker: Edison Altamirano-Avila |
Authors: Edison Altamirano-Avila, Abraham Valdivia-Puga, Carlos Vázquez-Hurtado |
Abstract: Cyberlearning factories struggle to be implemented for teaching into digital world environments, complex manufacturing systems require multiple systems such as vision cameras, plc programming, or AGV’s (Autonomous Intelligent Vehicles). This work depicts the integration of emerging technologies for simulating multiple systems such as industrial cameras, programmable logic controllers, and robots into a simulated world environment. The proposed method shows a solution to test the performance of a factory based on the interaction and data provided by systems such as Datalogic cameras for industrial vision, CODESYS for plc programming, and process simulate to create virtual environments. The result is the development of an efficient industrial simulation environment with robust mathematical modeling for planning the process behavior inside a manufacturing station. This research exemplifies educational innovation by assisting in the creation of a cost-effective method for teaching industrial skills. |

Promoting Girls' participation in STEM careers - Paper # 642 |
Speaker: Ana Luna |
Authors: Ana Luna, Yereth Romero Blas, Minelly Sarmiento Mendoza, Mario Chong |
Abstract: In most countries, especially in Latin America, boys are more likely to choose careers in STEM fields compared to girls. The gap exceeds 70%. The lack of role models, inspiration, motivation, and stereotypes contribute to widening this gap. In this work, we present some activities with girls and teenagers that we carried out as a student branch in a Peruvian university. The enthusiasm of the girls and the surveys' results of the post-workshops confirmed that the role played by the members of WIE (Women in Engineer) had a positive impact on the girls' lives, inspiring them to approach a STEM career. |

Work in Progress: Virtual training of international university quality during the pandemic in 2020 at University of Sciences and Humanities, Lima-Perú. - Paper # 657 |
Speaker: Julio Vasquez Paragulla, Juan Julio Vasquez Paragulla |
Authors: Julio Vasquez Paragulla, Hipólito Reyes Del Carmen |
Abstract: The globalized Covid-19 pandemic arrived in Peru at the beginning of 2020, 15 days after starting the 2020-1 academic semester at the University of Sciences and Humanities, North Lima. Most of the students were already enrolled, the schedules were already established, the teaching staff was already designated. However, the government took measures of social isolation, total quarantine, prioritizing health over the economy. Thousands of companies closed, hundreds of thousands of jobs were lost, education went virtual to 100%. Most of the students felt the economic impact on their families, however they decided to continue their university studies with hope, faith and illusion of an early normalcy. Virtual platforms are gaining prominence at all educational levels, virtual learning teaching processes are in a saving table for education, within a convulsive sea of pandemic and generalized economic crisis. Virtual training is a basic necessity; however its cost is a more visible brake than ever. The challenge is then, how to give access to quality virtual training to our university community, and at zero cost. Coursera International gave us that great opportunity. |

Abstract: It is common to observe a lack of motivation in the freshmen engineering students enrolled in mathematics courses. In this paper, we present a first attempt to describe the similarities and contrast the differences between the students’ motivation in engineering mathematics courses in Guatemala and Germany. Despite the cultural differences between these countries, the overall problem seems to have a similar pattern, which makes this study even more interesting.To measure the levels of motivation, we used the motivation section of the well-known Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ). Our findings include a significant difference in intrinsic motivation, extrinsic motivation, and anxiety management between those groups. The results of the remaining sub-scales of the test are also discussed in this paper. As a result, this explorative study provides a first insight into the motivation level in engineering mathematics courses and the different cultural and pedagogical factors that may affect it. |
