| Abstract: | In the degree of Chemical Engineering at the University of Málaga (Spain), some subjects that complete the curricula of students are perceived by them as unnecessary for their future career. This is the case of the subject "Electronics and Electrical Engineering". In order to motivate these students, we have implemented a competitive framework: Students are gathered into teams and compete along several tasks. Those students completing the activities correctly obtain some additional points that are added to the mark of their final exam. Moreover, there is a ranking for the teams and the winners get some extra points. Our preliminary results shows that the students find this methodology both appealing and motivating. However, the teams need to be carefully selected so that the students can participate even when their colleagues have left the subject. In our work in progress, we are increasing the competition level by including students from the University of Granada (Spain); hence, one of the key aspects is how to design the activities appropriately in an inter-University scenario. |
