- Laboratório remoto VISIR: As Limitações da Matriz de ComutaçãoPublication . Ruiz, Elio San Cristobal; Lázaro Jacob, Frederico; Fidalgo, André; Loro, Felix GarcíaNum mundo em rápida evolução, a tecnologia desempenha um papel fundamental na transformação da forma como os estudantes aprendem e interagem com conceitos teóricos e práticos. Um exemplo notável deste progresso é o Virtual Instrument Systems in Reality (VISIR), uma popular plataforma de laboratório remoto desenvolvida para o ensino de disciplinas específicas, como a eletrónica analógica e a eletricidade. Este laboratório permite que os estudantes realizem experiências práticas através da Internet, utilizando potencialmente equipamento real, instalado num local distante, e controlado à distância. Assim, os estudantes podem aceder ao laboratório remoto VISIR através de um navegador Web e interagir com instrumentos e circuitos como se estivessem num laboratório convencional. No entanto, provavelmente por não ter recebido actualizações relevantes durante bastante tempo, esta plataforma apresenta várias limitações, que serão exploradas neste artigo, essencialmente as que existem atualmente na Matriz de Comutação. Esta abordagem baseou-se em informações publicadas na literatura científica combinadas com o retorno da intensiva experiência de utilizadores e proprietários. Esta avaliação visa identificar várias limitações (técnicas, educativas ou pedagógicas, operacionais e económicas) da Matriz de Comutação, que podem ser consideradas ameaças para o futuro do laboratório remoto VISIR e afetar o seu desempenho e estabilidade, bem como a sua expansão a uma comunidade mais vasta de utilizadores. De salientar que não são apresentadas sugestões de soluções para corrigir as limitações desta parte da plataforma remota.
- MedTech Simulator – A tool for medical studentsPublication . Beatriz, Dânia; Pinto, Gabriel; Barata, Inês; João, Maria; Marques, Maria Arcelina; Lázaro Jacob, Frederico; Guimarães, PedroSocioeconomic and health system progress has resulted in significant improvements in living conditions and an increase in average life expectancy. However, the aging of the European population highlights the growing demand for healthcare. Technology plays a crucial role in transforming this sector, driving advances in the treatment and diagnosis of diseases. Medical simulation emerges as an essential tool for improving skills, facing challenges in the transition to more effective and realistic approaches. The shortage of trainers and supervision during internships are challenges in medical education in Portugal, as well as preventable deaths related to medical errors. In response to these problems, the MedTech Simulator, an advanced training tool designed to improve the technical skills of medical students in a safe and realistic way. With a clinically accurate environment, the simulator integrates crucial functionalities such as facial recognition, speech processing, motor-controlled head and eye movements, and pressure, temperature and breathing mechanisms. The interface offers disease simulation options, allowing control of each module and visualization of vital data. The harmonious integration of Python, Arduino Mega and Raspberry is essential to the success of the medical simulator. The purpose of the prototype is to guarantee the appropriate knowledge, skills and behavior of doctors in clinical training, to provide excellent service and ensure patient safety.
- Home Assistive Robot for Alzheimer's PatientsPublication . Nóbrega, Antónia; Portela, Mariana; Tavares, Sofia; Guimarães, Pedro; Marques, Maria Arcelina; Lázaro Jacob, FredericoWith the increase in the senior population, especially patients with dementia and Alzheimer's, healthcare professionals are increasingly overwhelmed. Existing assistive technologies to improve these patients’ quality of life and their caregivers are scarce given the daily challenges they face. To tackle this issue, a domestic assistive robot was developed for Alzheimer's patients – AlzheimerAlly - which encompasses the functionalities of a service robot, and a companion robot. AlzheimerAlly's functionalities involve tracking continuous monitoring of the patient's anatomical points to detect the type of movement and medication intake. The movement of the robot follows the movement of the patient. Additionally, the graphical interface allows cognitive and stimulation tests to be carried out. The medication dispenser, implemented, contains compartments, each with a LED. Finally, there is a website, which allows you to enter and access relevant data about the medication dispenser and cognitive tests. The functionalities described were thoroughly tested, demonstrating effective implementation. However, the prototype still remains subject to improvements. Although AlzheimerAlly requires improvements, it is already a significant and functional contribution to the area of care for Alzheimer's patients. This robot represents innovation and improvement in the quality of life of patients, their caregivers and healthcare professionals.

- Skills in Engineering Education and its challenges to the labour marketPublication . Silva, Paulo; García-Holgado, Alicia; Felgueiras, CarlosSince childhood, education is an essential element in shaping and building knowledge, wisdom and character. What the child absorbs in this knowledge shapes their interest in their attitudes and preferences, directly impacting their school career and, consequently, their professional career. More importantly, education directly impacts the skills each individual is equipped with and can use daily. Skills in the field of sustainability, for example, have become quite relevant nowadays as we need increasingly more technological solutions that have less impact on the environment. If students do not have these skills, then this will mean that professionals in the labor market will not have sufficient skills to respond to the needs of society, and consequently fail to meet national and governmental commitments to outlined goals. It therefore becomes important to understand students' needs for a more complete education adjusted to the needs of society, preparing these future professionals for an increasingly technological, demanding and competitive labor market. This study aims to provide an overview and approach to some findings within the scope of an educational project in STEAM learning and an ERASMUS + project related to education and sustainability.
- Engineering Education for a Sustainable Future A systematic literature review and a perspectivePublication . Silva, Paulo; Felgueiras, Carlos; Caetano, Nídia; Martins, Florinda; Onofrei, George; Blue, Juanita; Sintejudeanu, Mara; Acitores, Adela; Cruz, Francisco; Erro, Alfonso Martín; Moreno, Susana; Davey, Todd; Collins, Monica Holly; Spada, DominicEducation represents a fundamental pillar of society, being an important factor in shaping and building each individual for their future. It is common sense that society, like the world we live in, undergoes adaptations and modifications over time, especially due to the need to resolve issues that allow for improved comfort and greater chances of survival in these changes. There-fore, a question arises: what factor must be highlighted in order to respond to this need? Sustainability presents itself as a preponderant factor in humanity's response to building a more sober, educated, conscious and cohesive society. Educating an individual with tools and qualities based on sustainability, who in the future will have the capacity to reach many other individuals in an educational context, presents itself as a possible way to enhance and disseminate sustainability in social, academic and professional aspects. This study is based on the premise of an ERASMUS + project that aims to provide a possibility for a more sustainable education in the field of Engineering, having as its central point a holistic approach that must be the center of society: Sustainability.
