• Resumen

  • A design of a nautical project using the active learning method based on projects, was developed and implemented in twouniversities in Chile. The main objective of this research is the search of learning methodologies stimulators of the cooperativework of students in complex projects. The educational project uses the concurrent engineering supported by an informaticsplatform and the following design technics: Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), Computer-aided Manufacturing (CAM), FiniteElement Method (FEM) and Computer-aided Design (CAD). The teams are grouped by capabilities and technical interests,working in the different stages of development of the project of a nautical team for an international competition. The programmingof the activities carried out by the students include are the 3D digital design, the ergonomic studies, the computational simulationsof fluids, the resistance analysis of materials, the 3D prototype and the computer-aided manufacturing. Finally, this researchcompares the conceive-design-implement-operate (CDIO) methodology with the methodology of lecture classes and presents thelearning results and the challenges of the experience.
