Resumo(s)
This paper proposes the development of biologically inspired
robots as the capstone project of the European Project Semester
(EPS) framework. EPS is a one semester student centred
international programme offered by a group of European
engineering schools (EPS Providers) as part of their student
exchange programme portfolio. EPS is organized around a central
module (the EPS project) and a set of complementary supportive
modules. Project proposals refer to open multidisciplinary real
world problems. Its purpose is to expose students to problems of a
greater dimension and complexity than those faced throughout the
degree programme as well as to put them in contact with the socalled
real world, in opposition to the academic world. Students
are organized in teams, grouping individuals from diverse
academic backgrounds and nationalities, and each team is fully
responsible for conducting its project. EPS provides an integrated
framework for undertaking capstone projects, which is focused on
multicultural and multidisciplinary teamwork, communication,
problem-solving, creativity, leadership, entrepreneurship, ethical
reasoning and global contextual analysis. The design and
development of biologically inspired robots allows the students to
fulfil the previously described requirements and objectives and, as
a result, we recommend the adoption of these projects within the
EPS project capstone module for the benefit of engineering
students.
