e-Betezuna experiencia multidisciplinar y multicampus para integrar las bases de la sostenibilidad en el grado de ingeniería

Abstract

This article presents an experience aligned with the concepts previously introduced in other articles of this Ikastorratza issue, promoted by Ingeniería Sin Fronteras País Vasco-Euskal Herriko Mugarik Gabeko Ingeniaritza (ISF/MGI). The e-Betez project is conceived as the first phase of an initiative to promote the use of renewable energy driving the design and development of chargers of portable devices (mobile phones, PDAs, laptops, ...) implemented under the principles of open knowledge that respond a function of impact and visibility of the commitment of the UPV / EHU sustainability. Project development was achieved by different means: teamwork, training programs, and Final-Year-Projects carried out by eight engineering students of the Faculty of Engineering of Bilbao, Faculty of Engineering of Vitoria-Gasteiz and the sections of Eibar and Donostia of the Faculty of Engineering of Gipuzkoa, who worked in multidisciplinary teams. This project was conducted by the professors of the different participant faculties, ISF/MGI (Engineers Without Borders) and BURUTEK (Association for Technological Sovereignty of Euskadi). The developments was made under specifications of promoting open knowledge that the knowledge generated is free, replicable and relevant in context.
