Abstract:

The educational innovation project PIE16-63 funded by the “Universidad de Málaga” is focused on the strengthening of basic and general competences of the undergraduate students of the School of Telecommunications Engineering (ETSIT). In particular, these competences are:
• CB-3: Students have to get the ability to gather and interpret data (usually related to the field of study) to make judgments that include a reflection on social, scientific and/or ethical aspects.
• CB-4: Students have to get the ability of transmitting information, ideas, problems and solutions to both expert and non-expert audiences.
• G-01- Ability to assume a respectful attitude towards fundamental rights and gender equality.
• G-12- Ability to solve problems, decision-making, creativity and to communicate knowledge and skills understanding ethical and professional responsibility of the Telecommunication Engineer.
• G-17- Ability to work in a multidisciplinary group and in a multilingual environment as well as communicate, both in writing and orally, knowledge, procedures, results and ideas related to telecommunications and electronics.

Some of the main activities of this project are:
• The design of posters, written in English on evolution and history about the main topics of each subject.
• Oral presentation of these posters in each subject.
• Exhibition of the best posters of each subject. These exhibitions can be visited by the university community.

After two years, this paper describes the results, the interests and the strengthening of the competences of those students involved in this experience. The results show that the students have improved the selected competences and they have improve competences and their abilities to communicate ideas through posters as well as through oral presentations. Generally, students are very satisfied with these innovation activities because their novelty and practical relevance.
