Desarrollo de prácticas de laboratorio, para mecánica de sólidos y diseño de transmisión de potencia, utilizando los Kits Actobotics

Abstract

The objective of this degree work is the development of laboratory practices using the Kits acquired by the university. Three different approaches are considered, such as: the classification of different learning models so that each of the students has a better understanding of the concept learned, the design of two practices in which the creative part is used and the adaptation of the concepts. . acquired in the different spaces of the classroom and finally, the elaboration of manuals and guides.

In this way, an inquiry and research route was established, in conceptual and theoretical issues related to the laboratory practices to be carried out, in order to generate clarity in the learned concept, in the form and structure of how to propose the practices for the students. students. . Thanks to the information acquired, a design methodology is proposed that includes the following pillars: Definition of the problem, characteristics to take into account when developing the practices, list of pieces (which the university has) and a study of the state Of art .

With the information collected, and before starting with the development of the practices, we proceed to classify some learning models to adapt them in the development of the laboratory practices. Now, two models are proposed: A crane and a forklift, in each of them different design options are established, where they are classified one by one, taking into account their assembly with physical and electronic components, portability, functionality and stability.

With the functional proposals, laboratory practices, manuals and guides are developed with which the student will be able to evaluate components, based on mathematics applied to the areas of design in the subjects of solid mechanics and power transmission, in addition to the programming of electronic components such as: Arduino, to critical thinking and the ability to make decisions based on the skills that a mechanical engineer graduated from Santo Tomás University should have.
