Abstract

The research addresses the lack of practical competencies in the electrical installations-I (IE-1) course at the School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering (EPIME) at the National Technological University of Lima Sur, where the current content is mostly theoretical. To solve this problem, the course was moved to the Electrical Installations Laboratory (LABIE) and the conceive, design, implement, and operate (CDIO) methodology was applied, combining theory with practice to develop competencies in knowledge, skills, and attitudes. The laboratory guides were aligned with the new IE-1 syllabus, including single-phase and three-phase systems of 220 V at 60 Hz, which were not previously covered. Two groups of 15 students were compared: an experimental group (EG) and a control group (CG). Both took a pre-test with similar results. The CG followed traditional classes, while the EG worked in the LABIE with CDIO. At the end, a post-test showed significant improvements in the EG, validating the effectiveness of CDIO in enhancing practical training in IE-1. It is concluded that this methodology should be implemented in the new EPIME curriculum.

Abstract

curricula up-to-date with advanced computer-aided design (CAD) technologies to understand their practical application in various industrial and research contexts. Given this need, a systematic review was proposed following the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) method to evaluate the most recent innovations in CAD systems and their effective application in engineering education. The results reveal that emerging technologies such as real-time virtual collaboration, 3D design, and virtual reality are being incorporated into educational environments, significantly enhancing students’ technical and collaborative skills. The research concludes that these technologies not only reconfigure engineering education, emphasizing a practical and updated approach, but also facilitate a more interactive and effective learning experience. This study highlights the urgent need to adapt educational programs to incorporate these innovations, thus ensuring that future engineers are better prepared to face the challenges of modern industry.

Abstract

This study evaluated the reliability of feeder A4502 of the Concepción substation (Huancayo, Peru) through the analysis of system average interruption duration index (SAIDI) and system average interruption frequency index (SAIFI) indicators. The 46-year-old infrastructure presented 805 structural deficiencies (59%), with a predominance of corrosion in iron poles. Automatic recloser devices were implemented at strategic points, based on the fact that 67% of the 73 interruptions in 2021 were transient faults. Post-intervention results (2024) showed significant improvements: SAIDI was reduced from 9.87 to 7.39 hours (25%), nearing the regulatory limit of 7 hours; SAIFI decreased from 4.29 to 2.71 events (37%), falling within the limit of 4. Pearson correlation analysis confirmed a statistically significant relationship between structural deficiencies and the indicators (r =0.62 SAIDI, r =0.58 SAIFI, p <0.05). The integrated approach—diagnosis of deficiencies + automation with reclosers—proved to be technically viable and economically justifiable, also allowing for the meeting of new energy demands (240 kVA available). The results constitute a replicable model for other aging Latin American networks, validating the viability of regulatory compliance without prohibitive investments.
