Abstract:

In the field of education, teaching innovation plays a key role in improving the quality and efficiency of teaching. This paper presents a teaching innovation project that proposes the use of short videos to improve the understanding of structural elements, focusing specifically on reinforced concrete footings in foundations. In addition, a collaboration is established with the company CYPE Ingenieros to carry out two specific workshops on the mentioned structural elements.

The main aim of the project is to provide students with a visual and practical experience that facilitates learning about reinforced concrete footings in foundations. The videos focus on providing a clear and concise explanation of key concepts, while the workshops offer an opportunity to explore the subject in depth and resolve specific doubts. It also seeks to encourage collaboration between academia and industry, drawing on the experience and knowledge of the project team.

In terms of methodology, first of all, a series of videos of 5 minutes more or less is created. In these digital resources, modelling, calculation, cost and execution are explained in a didactic way for reinforced concrete footings. These videos are distributed through an open access platform (YouTube). In addition, two workshops are organised in collaboration with CYPE Ingenieros, where topics on modelling, calculation and costs of structures are dealt with more intensively and interaction between participants is promoted.

The results of the project are implemented in the Master Industrial Engineering. Students show increased interest and active participation in learning. The short videos are well received for their concise and clear format, and the workshops provided a rewarding space for discussion and the opportunity to learn from professionals.

As conclusions we can confirm that the use of short videos and workshops in this teaching innovation project proves to be an effective strategy to improve the learning of structural elements, in particular reinforced concrete footings in foundations. The combination of easily accessible audiovisual materials and direct interaction with industry experts helps to strengthen students' theoretical and practical knowledge. We recommend the continuation of this pedagogical approach in future courses and highlight the importance of collaboration between university and industry to enhance the training of students in the Industrial Constructions subject of the Master in Industrial Engineering.
