Resumen:

Nowadays, one of the best ways to achieve that students acquire interest in learning something new, is to show them the future functionality of that knowledge. Engineering is a fascinating area of study because through knowledge of mathematical concepts, the physical phenomena that give rise to multiple applications in different areas are analyzed, but it?s only possible to analyze the theory in the classroom. As mentioned above, it?s important that engineering students relate mathematical concepts to experimental subjects such as physics and chemistry. Students achieve a significant learning of mathematics using these as tools of explanation by manipulating instruments, parameter analysis and the comparison of results obtained, that allow to identify that the variables or symbols used together. This is one of the main goals of project PE111218 Design of laboratory experiments to strengthen mathematical learning concepts in basic sciences, started at the beginning of 2018, where a group of teachers work on designing experiments that will be implemented in theoretical courses of mathematics for students of the first semesters at the School of Engineering of Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, UNAM. The project will last two years in which it?s intended to have a set of experiments that will be available to teachers of different courses in the areas of basic sciences. The experiments will be applied to different groups of students, carrying out opinion polls both to teachers and students to perform comparative analyses and evaluate the possibility of achieving good learning in students with these experiments. It?s also of vital importance to show students the use of existing specialized software that allows to verify results immediately and to analyze hypothetical situations in which they could have some feedback of what can happen when changing some of the parameters used in the experiments or the data obtained. In this work we will mention three experiments that are currently in development and the result that we obtained by carrying them out with some pilot groups. © WMSCI 2019 - 23rd World Multi-Conference on Systemics, Cybernetics and Informatics, Proceedings.
