Resumen

Este artículo presenta una experiencia docente basada en la integración del Aprendizaje Basado en Proyectos (ABP) y el modelo de Aula Invertida en la enseñanza de asignaturas de Ingeniería de Control. La propuesta se articula en torno al uso de un dispositivo basado en TCLab, una maqueta de bajo coste para el control de temperatura, que permite al alumnado experimentar con sistemas físicos reales. El proyecto se estructura en hitos con entregas guiadas por material didáctico específico, incluyendo píldoras formativas, guiones, y plantillas de código en MATLAB. La evaluación de la experiencia mediante un cuestionario de satisfacción evidencia una valoración positiva por parte del alumnado, destacando la utilidad del enfoque práctico, la mejora en la comprensión de conceptos teóricos y el desarrollo de competencias aplicables al ámbito profesional. Los resultados refuerzan la viabilidad de esta metodología como modelo replicable para la mejora de la enseñanza en el ámbito de la Ingeniería de Control.
