Application of rubric in learning assessment: a proposal of application for engineering students

This experience shows the use of rubrics as an orientation learning tool as well as a criteria-evaluative one in several topics of Engineering Branch. The data were obtained analysing the academic students results, the assessment of the experience given by teachers and the information obtained from the satisfaction surveys filled out by students.

New technologies applied to the development of risk prevention competency in engineering students

The aim of this article is to describe the work that has been carried out prior to a practical experiment in the Food Technology laboratories of the Polytechnic School of Zamora (Escuela Politécnica Superior de Zamora, EPSZ). We report the stages followed in the drafting of the practical guide to the subject, the materials used, and the sections comprising it. The guide has been drawn up with the intention of allowing the student to acquire and include in his/her work routines habits that minimise risks in the carrying out of his/her laboratory activities.

Application of New Assessment Tools in Engineering Studies: The Rubric

This paper reports an experiment in the application of rubrics, as an assessment tool, in different degree courses in the fields of engineering and architecture. This paper involved five subjects, seven teachers, and a total of 170 students. We analyze the scores obtained by the students and the degree of satisfaction of both the students and teachers, based on questionnaires developed specifically for this purpose.
