Um Sistema de Apoio ao Ensino da Disciplina de Sistemas Hidráulicos Baseado na Metodologia de Resolução de Problemas

Abstract

Simulators are commonly used to help the teaching of hydraulics courses. Main existing simulators in the market today are proprietary, closed source solutions, typically compatible with only one operational system. This work proposes an educational system intended to help the teaching of hydraulics courses, which is composed of a supporting tool to the teacher, where are created and corrected problems in hydraulics, together with a mobile application that communicates with teacher supporting tool and provides an environment where the student can solve these problems by a panel for the design of hydraulic circuits. The application implements the modeling of signal flow, which allows the simulation of the direction and sense of the fluid. Evaluation experiments showed the potential pedagogical use of this system to support the discipline of hydraulic systems as well as identified issues related to its usability
