Web Platform For The Integration Of Theoretical Content And Its Applications In Engineering Degrees: The Wolfram Demonstrations Project

This paper presents a cross-curricular teaching innovation project which is to be developed during the academic year 2012-13 at the Polytechnic School of Engineering (EPI) in Gijon. The working group consists of 9 lecturers belonging to 5 departments. Work will be undertaken on the contents of 7 subjects forming part of the curricula of 5 degrees at the EPI. In this project we focus on the role of the Wolfram Demonstrations Project (WDP) in the teaching of diverse disciplines related to Engineering Degrees and show the advantages of using this application. The WDP resources, linked to specific contents of the course matter of each subject, will be presented to students via a website.
