ABSTRACT

Based on the educational innovation perspective implemented in engineering programmes, new teaching paradigms are being used to achieve greater intellectual capacity development, skills acquisition, the replacement of obsolete techniques with more efficient and faster ones, and better integration of knowledge in the teaching-learning process. With this objective in mind, and thanks to the inclusion of information technology, we have implemented new pedagogical methodologies and various teaching strategies for transdisciplinary work in the development of the topic Laplace Transform corresponding to the subject Advanced Calculus. The teaching proposal presented corresponds to a system related to the analysis of a heat transfer device, in which the concept of transfer function and the application of a step disturbance when the temperature of a fluid is raised are addressed analytically and graphically, giving meaning to the curriculum content and facilitating the interpretation and conceptualisation of the theory.
