Título: Study of ocean and wind energy potential with R: an innovative experience in the classroom
Autor: Ulazia, Alain; Ibarra-Berastegi, Gabriel
Resumen: [EN] The Engineer School of Eibar initiated the Grade of Engineering in
Renewable Energies four years ago. This pioneering educational project has
shown many challenges to the teachers of the new grade. Among the different
software skills used in this project, R programming language has been a very
important one because of its capacity for spatio-temporal analysis and
graphical visualization of wind energy and wave energy potential. A quarter
of the subject's program in Wind Energy and Ocean Energy has been used
via Problem Based Learning for the application of statistical calculus with R.
The aim of this contribution is to show some paradigmatic problems solved
by the students and the results obtained. Finally, the opinion of the students
about the use of R and its learning potentiality have been gathered and
analysed.
