Gamification and a low-cost laboratory equipment aimed to boost vapor compresion refrigeration learning

The nowadays European educational framework boosts applying the learned theoretical concepts to real situations. Hence, practice sessions are key resources present students direct applications of shown in class. Thus, developing new equipment and oriented bringing knowledge closer should be one objectives teachers.The work describes a solution proposed by lectures two Spanish universities looking increase their engineering students. Along years, these docents have noticed lack connection between practical among students, drastically harming learning procedure. order deepen into learning, teaching methodology involving low cost prototypes vapor compression systems gamification method help understand is proposed. expected make big positive impact on results obtained taking account preliminary reached.
