Abstract
This work describes the innovation activities performed in the field of space education since the academic year 2009/10 at the
Technical University of Madrid (UPM), in collaboration with the Spanish User Support and Operations Center (E-USOC), the center
assigned by the European Space Agency (ESA) in Spain to support the operations of scientiดรแ experiments on board the International
Space Station. These activities have been integrated within the last year of the UPM Aerospace Engineering degree.
A laboratory has been created, where students have to validate and integrate the subsystems of a microsatellite using demonstrator
satellites. In parallel, the students participate in a Project Based Learning (PBL) training process in which they work in groups to develop
the conceptual design of a space mission. One student in each group takes the role of project manager, another one is responsible for the
mission design and the rest are each responsible for the design of one of the satellite subsystems. A ground station has also been set up
with the help of students developing their final thesis, which will allow future students to perform training sessions and learn how to
communicate with satellites, how to receive telemetry and how to process the data.
Several surveys have been conducted along two academic years to evaluate the impact of these techniques in engineering learning. The
surveys evaluate the acquisition of specific and generic competences, as well as the students’ degree of satisfaction with respect to the use
of these learning methodologies.
The results of the surveys and the perception of the lecturers show that PBL encourages students’ motivation and improves their
results. They not only acquire better technical training, but also improve their transversal skills. It is also pointed out that this methodology requires more dedication from lecturers than traditional methods.
