CookieLibs: An Intuitive Software Platform For Controlling Cookies Wireless Sensor Nodes

In this work a complete set of libraries for developing wireless sensor applications in a simple and intuitive way is presented, in contraposition to the most spread application abstraction-level mechanisms based on operating systems. The main target of this software platform, named CookieLibs, is to provide the highest abstraction level on the management of WSNs but in the simplest way for those users who are not familiar with software design, in order to achieve a fast profiling mechanism for reliable prototyping based on the Cookies platform.

Stoichiometry in Context: Inquiry-Guided Problems of Chemistry for Encouraging Critical Thinking in Engineering Students

This paper focuses on examples of educational tools concerning the learning of chemistry for engineering students through different daily life cases. These tools were developed during the past few years for enhancing the active role of students. They refer to cases about mineral water, medicaments, dentifrices and informative panels about solar power, where an adequate quantitative treatment through stoichiometry calculations allows the interpretation of data and values announced by manufacturers. These cases were developed in the context of an inquiry-guided instruction model. By bringing tangible chemistry examples into the classroom we provide an opportunity for engineering students to apply this science to familiar products in hopes that they will appreciate chemistry more, will be motivated to study concepts in greater detail, and will connect the relevance of chemistry to everyday life.
