- EditorialPublication . Carvalho, José António Beleza(Excerto do Editorial)Estimados leitores Voltamos à vossa presença com mais uma publicação da revista “Neutro-à-Terra”. Ao fim de 17 anos, continuamos a missão de intervir na área cientifica da Engenharia Eletrotécnica, prestando um serviço à nossa escola, o Instituto Superior de Engenharia do Porto, aos nossos professores e alunos dos cursos de Engenharia Eletrotécnica e, de uma forma geral, a todos os profissionais desta área da engenharia. O mundo em que vivemos atualmente é cada vez mais instável e imprevisível. (...)
- EditorialPublication . Carvalho, José António BelezaEstimados leitores Iniciámos há 18 anos o compromisso de intervir, semestralmente, na área científica da Engenharia Eletrotécnica, com a publicação de artigos técnicos e científicos como forma de apoio aos estudantes dos cursos de engenharia eletrotécnica, em particular do perfil de especialização em Sistemas Elétricos de Energia. Procuramos ser uma voz ativa na divulgação de conhecimento, na atualização técnica e científica e contribuir, por vezes de forma inovadora, na solução de problemas nesta área da engenharia. Prestámos um serviço à nossa escola, o Instituto Superior de Engenharia do Porto, aos nossos professores e alunos e, de uma forma geral, a todos os profissionais da engenharia eletrotécnica. Assim, voltámos à vossa presença com mais uma publicação da nossa revista “Neutro-à-Terra”. Nesta edição, publicamos artigos que entendemos ser muito interessantes, muito atuais, de natureza mais científica, e que traduzem de uma forma transversal o perfil de especialização e o trabalho que é realizado pelos autores.
- EPS@ISEP: Mapping sustainabilityPublication . Guedes, Pedro; BENEDITA CAMPOS NEVES MALHEIRO, MARIA; Arnó, Elisabete; Fuentes, Pedro; Malheiro, Benedita; Sánchez, Antonio J.; Monjo, LluisThe European Project Semester (EPS) is a project-based learning framework designed to prepare engineering undergraduates for future professional challenges. During one semester, multicultural multidisciplinary teams design, develop and test solutions to real problems affecting the planet, society or individuals, considering technical, sustainability, ethical, and market requirements. The implemented learning process gives teams the autonomy to make design decisions, as long as they are based on clear sustainability and ethical criteria. The aim is for students to develop skills not only in critical thinking, problem-solving, creativity, innovation, effective communication, collaboration, and teamwork, but above all, the ability to make decisions based on ethical and sustainability principles. This study aims to demonstrate that EPS@ISEP effectively contributes to the development of sustainability-oriented engineers. To this end, it compiles evidence found at the institutional level, represented by programme documentation, and the student level, represented by team deliverables. The method involves semi-automatic mapping of sustainability keywords compiled from the documents, as well as by other researchers. The results show that both the institution and the participants are aligned and committed to the design of sustainability-driven solutions.
- Mapping ethics in EPS@ISEP robotics projectsPublication . BENEDITA CAMPOS NEVES MALHEIRO, MARIA; Silva, Manuel; Ferreira, Paulo; Guedes, Pedro; Silva, Manuel F.; Tokhi, Mohammad Osman; A. Ferreira, Maria Isabel; Malheiro, Benedita; Guedes, Pedro; Ferreira, Paulo; Costa, Maria TeresaThe European Project Semester (EPS), offered by the Instituto Superior de Engenharia do Porto (ISEP), is a capstone programme designed for undergraduate students in engineering, product design, and business. EPS@ISEP fosters project-based learning, promotes multicultural and interdisciplinary teamwork, and ethics- and sustainability-driven design. This study applies Natural Language Processing techniques, specifically text mining, to analyse project papers produced by EPS@ISEP teams. The proposed method aims to identify evidence of ethical concerns within EPS@ISEP projects. An innovative keyword mapping approach is introduced that first defines and refines a list of ethics-related keywords through prompt engineering. This enriched list of keywords is then used to systematically map the content of project papers. The findings indicate that the EPS@ISEP robotics project papers analysed demonstrate awareness of ethical considerations and actively incorporate them into design processes. The method presented is adaptable to various application areas, such as monitoring compliance with responsible innovation or sustainability policies.
- ROS-enabled DIY and open-source wheeled robots for higher education learning and competitions: A systematic reviewPublication . Pereira, Rúben; BENEDITA CAMPOS NEVES MALHEIRO, MARIA; Silva, ManuelThis study systematically characterizes Do It Yourself (DIY) and open-source wheeled robotic platforms used in higher education and academic competitions. It also analyzes Robot Operating System (ROS)-based designs with respect to real-time performance and multi-sensor integration, following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) 2020 guidelines. A total of 20 high-quality studies were identified across five major digital libraries (Dimensions, Web of Science, SpringerLink, ScienceDirect, and IEEE Xplore), which were searched on 12 January 2026. Eligibility was restricted to peer-reviewed English-language studies published between 2005 and 2026 that explicitly implement ROS-based wheeled platforms in higher education contexts. Results were synthesized through qualitative analysis using a structured data extraction form implemented in the Parsifal systematic review platform. Methodological quality and risk of bias were assessed using a structured appraisal checklist. The results show a dominant trend toward distributed dual-processor architectures, which separate low-level real-time control from high-level processing. Most platforms target an accessible price range of 50€ to 500€ for open-source and DIY platforms. ROS has emerged as the standard middleware, enabling multi-sensor integration and supporting digital twin workflows. There is also a clear shift toward open-source hardware and Three-Dimensional (3D)-printed modular designs, which reduce production costs. However, challenges remain, including software obsolescence and the lack of maintenance plans. The findings highlight the need for interoperable reference architectures and automated deployment workflows to ensure long-term sustainability. Evidence is limited by heterogeneity, inconsistent reporting, and small sample sizes, which introduce risks of bias and imprecision. This review was formally registered with protocols.io.
