MATES to STEAM

MATES to STEAM was a pivotal educational research project that significantly advanced the development of STEAM-based activities in our lab. By integrating mathematics, engineering, and technology into creative learning experiences, the project provided a strong foundation for hands-on exploration. It directly contributed to innovative activities such as "Derive the Curve," "Nakula," and "Sahadeeva," fostering critical thinking, problem-solving, and interdisciplinary engagement. This initiative not only enriched our educational approach but also reinforced the lab’s commitment to experiential learning and innovation.

Results of this project are summarized in this article

Proposal for embedding Construction 4.0 activities

Derive the curve

Derive the curve is a cornerstone activity conceived to introduce interactive programming to First Year Civil engineering Students. The laboratory has contributed with this activity to the course of Calculus in which exploration of interactive programming has already given interesting proposals.

Nakula and Sahadeeva

Can we explore data journeys from ROS-to-BIM or real time Scan-to-BIM? These questions led to "let us try" developments of physical-to-digital applications. These developments helped generating content for workshops related to embedding measurements, 3D printing, BIM and Robotics.

Digital twins

The development of a behavioral digital twins of small-scale steel structures is an interesting capstone project. The development of digital twins require a broad understanding of the data journey. From acquisition to visualization, data can generate value that requires identification by civil engineering students.
