Bilingual multimedia resources to improve learning in engineering subjects
Innovation Plan and Good Teaching Practices
The resources presented here are the result of a Teaching Innovation Project for the training of novice professors, which the University of Cordoba finances through its Innovation Plan and good teaching practices for the 2017/18 academic year.

The different subjects of a degree are traditionally taught unconnected, as stand-alone elements that provide knowledge whose main final purpose is the evaluation.

However, the connection between the different subjects is essential and in many cases necessary to understand what is to come in the degree itself and for the training of the student.

This also implies a series of interdisciplinary relationships where the student must not only have a limited knowledge of his/her field but also develop an overall vision.

This is especially important in engineering degrees where future graduates must join multidisciplinary teams where such a global vision is necessary.

The example used for this series of teaching videos is the measurement of conductivity. Chemistry makes constant use of measuring instruments to characterise the properties of matter. Engineers are the ones who have to design the various measuring instruments to determine these properties.

The students in the subject of Chemistry in the first year, learn the theoretical concepts regarding the use of a measuring instrument.

Subsequently in the subject of Fundamentals of Electronics, taken in the second course, the students understand the physical principles that the sensor uses for its operation, as well as the process for its calculation.

Finally, in the Subject of Design of Electronic and Microelectronic Circuits, in the final year of the Degree in Industrial Electronic Engineering, the students acquire the knowledge to design and manufacture an electronic circuit that fulfills this measuring mission.

This project is therefore of great interest to Professors teaching subjects with this or a similar topics, as it provides them with a different approach to show the content to their students from a cross-disciplinary point of view.
