Abstract

Although there is no common agreement that provides exact dates in which to start a generation gap, and this generational analysis cannot be generalized to 100% of the population, the generational behavior analysis is used and referenced by many authors to provide a method to model the conduct of a large group of people according to their ages and provides a tool to model learning and teaching strategies. In this paper, we give a sample of a teaching process in topics of electronic control, robotics, automation, signal processing, computer vision and basic mechanics; applied to a challenge proposed annually by a private company that promotes a global event in which thousands of students including university students of engineering faculties participate.In our study, the entailment of the students to the robotics group was carried out voluntarily, this study involves students from first to last semester of electronics and systems engineering. The application of the knowledge acquired during the course is supported by the professors of the departments based on doubts that the students themselves make in their classes related to the specific problem they are trying to solve. The assignment of the task and problems among the members of the teams, and their complexity are selected by the students themselves according to the variety of subjects studied, and the personal interests.Performance metrics of these students are evaluated in their subjects, comparing them with others that are not part of the robotics groups.Finally, we give testimony of how the contact with other groups of different countries and the trips of the students and their interaction with other cultures allow the development of communication skills, handling of another language, and interpersonal relationships.
