Content management system for the dissemination of research results on Agustín de betancourt’s historical inventions

Abstract

In this paper, a Content Management System (CMS) developed in WordPress for the teaching-learning process of the historical inventions by Agustín de Betancourt is shown. The exhibition is made from the point of view of engineering graphics, and also pursues the educational objective of disseminating the results obtained in a research project of excellence which focuses on the figure of this outstanding Spanish engineer. The contents of this CMS are structured on the basis of 3 fundamental pillars: Historical, technological and graphical, and we aim to show them depending on the profile of user access. From the historical point of view, we seek to show all his work in pdf format, including all the information available in each file, i.e. the descriptive or functioning memories of the historical inventions, as well as his scarce planimetry; from a graphical point of view, we aim to show the 3D models, as well as the assembly plans with all their elements and exploded views, the virtual recreations of their operation, as well as the applications of virtual and augmented reality; finally, from the technological point of view derivative publications related to the study of computer-aided engineering (CAE) that have been generated from the 3D models of the analyzed inventions are shown. Finally, the developed CMS presents a very intuitive interface and easy navigation for the user, which facilitates its understanding, and therefore its dissemination and valorization. The self-assessment tests carried out reflect a high degree of satisfaction.
