Análisis de los resultados del proyecto de innovación educativa PIRAMIDE

PIRAMIDE aimed at boosting academic results from Bachelor and Master students by doing research on space engineering. This project was carried out by professors from the IDR/UPM Institute and STRAST group. The program was structured into five different case studies: 1) Design of a space mission (phase 0/A) in a Concurrent Design Facility (CDF); 2) Selection and study of an on-board computer for a CubeSat mission; 3) Intelligent design methodologies applied to graphic engineering; 4) Analysis of power systems for space applications; and 5) Design of a spacecraft Attitude Determination and Control Subsystem (ADCS). In the present work the results of conducting 5 student surveys for each of the case studies and a faculty survey are analyzed. Besides, some critical analysis is included with the lessons learned that might help to design better innovative educational projects in the future.
