RT Conference Proceedings T1 Project based learning on industrial informatics: applying IoT to urban garden A1 Hormigo-Aguilar, Javier A1 Rodríguez-Moreno, Andrés K1 Enseñanza - Innovaciones - Congresos AB The fast evolution of technologies forces teachers totrade content off for self-learning. PBL is one of the best waysto promote self-learning and simultaneously boost motivation. Inthis paper, we present our experience introducing project-basedlearning in the last year subject. New Internet of Things (IoT) topicallows us to carry out complete projects, integrating differenttechnologies and tools. Moreover, the selection of open-source andstandard free technologies makes easy and cheap the access tohardware and software platforms used. We carefully have pickedcommunication, data management, and programming tools thatwe think would be attractive to our students. They can startmaking fast prototyping with little initial skills and, at the sametime, these are serious and popular tools widely used in theindustry. In this paper, we report on the design of a project-basedlearning for our course and the impact this has on thestudent satisfaction and motivation. Surveys taught us that tuningthe courses towards developing real projects on the field, has alarge impact on acceptance, learning objectives achievements andmotivation towards the course content.
