Aunque el deterioro ambiental reciente de Colombia se explica, principalmente, por un fuerte incremento demográfico y económico en condiciones de bajísimo control estatal, la construcción de obras de infraestructura ha contribuido significativamente a este deterioro. En los últimos decenios ha avanzado la inclusión de consideraciones ambientales en los grandes proyectos de ingeniería. A futuro, queda para la profesión el reto de asumir, plenamente, una ética profesional que incorpore valores ambientales y que anteponga a los intereses particulares, los de la sociedad en general, incluidas las generaciones futuras./ The recent deterioration of the environment in Colombia is principally due to an accelerated demographic and economic growth with little State control. However, construction of infrastructure works has also significantly contributed to this situation. Environmental considerations have increasingly been taken into account in engineering projects in the last decades. It is up to the engineering profession to assume a set of values that will ensure environmental ethics which put the general interest and that of future generations before individual interests.Date

Sistema interactivo de aprendizaje como elemento de apoyo a los procesos de sustentabilidad y educación inclusiva, aplicado en comunidades lejanas de la República Democrática del Congo Interactive learning system as a support in processes of sustainability and inclusive education, applied in distant communities of the Democratic Republic of CongoGilmar Rolando Anaguano Jiménez (Universidad de Medellín, 2010-01-01)El presente es un artículo de reflexión, el cual resalta la importancia de los ambientes virtuales de aprendizaje como estrategia de apoyo a los lineamientos actuales de las Naciones Unidas, relacionados con los procesos de sustentabilidad global y educación inclusiva. Contiene la reflexión y descripción, de una investigación realizada por dos integrantes del grupo ARKADIUS del programa en Ingeniería de Sistemas de la Universidad de Medellín, cuyo objetivo general consistió en diseñar un sistema interactivo de aprendizaje para La República Democrática del Congo - África. Metodológicamente fue una investigación de tipo aplicativo-experimental la cual generó un prototipo de software diseñado a la medida para apoyar las estrategias postuladas por la teoría de aprendizaje mixto (B-Learning). El modelo pedagógico sugerido, las herramientas tecnológicas utilizadas y la movilización de un equipo investigativo internacional interdisciplinario constituyen igualmente, un aporte a los procesos de internacionalización y proyección social de la educación.<br>This document is a reflection, which highlights the importance of the virtual learning environments as strategy to support the current tendencies of the United Nations, related to the processes of global sustainability and inclusive education. It contains the reflection and description of a research carried out by two members of the ARKADIUS research group of Computer Science Engineering program of Universidad de Medellín; which general target consisted of designing an interactive learning system for the Democratic Republic of Congo - Africa. Methodologically it was an applicative-experimental research, which generated a prototype of software tailored to support the strategies stated by the theory of Blended Learning. The pedagogic model suggested, technological tools used, and the mobilization of an international and interdisciplinary research team, can be considered as a contribution to the processes of internationalization and social projection of education

Restauración y nuevo diseño. La casa de la cultura de medina del campo y la iglesia de San Juan Bautista de Guadalix de la Sierra (España)Fernández Muñoz, Angel Luis (Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cient&#237;ficas - Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cient&#237;ficas, 1996-10-01)The ensemble formed by Saint Martin church and the Falces Palace in Medina del Campo was in a deplorable state, plundered and ruined, when a restoration action was decided. As for San Juan Bautista’s church in Guadalix de la Sierra, only the tower and the apse had an architectural interest, since the nave was a poor reconstruction from 1944. The proposal considered two kinds of interventions. In one hand, the traditional restoration of the few pieces preserved in their original state. In another hand, rebuilding it with a new design that should optimize it for public use and also create an homogeneous coordination of the architectural "fragments" which before had no link between them.<br><br>El conjunto que forman la iglesia de San Martín y el Palacio de los Falces de Medina del Campo se encontraba en un estado lamentable cuando se decidió actuar en él: arruinado y saqueado. En cuanto a la iglesia de San Juan Bautista de Guadalix de la Sierra, sólo la torre y la cabecera tenían interés arquitectónico, ya que la nave era una pobre construcción reedificada en 1944. En ambos casos, el proyecto propuso una doble forma de intervención. Por un lado, la restauración tradicional de algunas de las piezas conservadas casi en su estado original. Por otra parte, el diseño de aportaciones nuevas que permitieran optimizar el nuevo uso público y, también, hacer lectura homogénea de "fragmentos" arquitectónicos que hasta entonces carecían de vínculos de relación.

E- Learning: An effective pedagogical tool for learningRafael; Victor; Kaneez ,; Boumedyen (International Journal of Innovative Technology and Creative Engineering, 2011-04-01)In the info-tech age E-Methods of learning are becoming the most important vehicle in disseminating knowledge in higher education institutions. This sector is growing and changing at a rapid speed due to developments in technologies. But teaching is an art. Can there be fun learning with raw and dry technology? How can we make the best use of E- Methods, can we make the required information and data available to the students in a flexible manner, at ease all the time? What are the advantages of traditional methods of teaching and learning? Is E-learning a progressive stage incubating all the benefits of the Manual learning or it is only a window dressing on the face of advancement? Can we convert the boring, tedious subjects into interactive, monotony breaking joyous learning? In this paper the researchers have focused on the modernization of E- Pedagogy vis-à-vis the traditional method of learning. They have highlighted the effectiveness of using the E- learning elements and various E- Methods. This work has used the decision tree algorithms particularly Classifiers.trees.J48 The obtained results show that using online examination attribute plays major role in increasing the average grade of the class in higher education. The novelty of this work is that the researchers have focused on the teaching methodology used by the faculty members and the tools available in the universities. We believe that this work will play a constructive role in building higher education system. Our generated rules/output can be used by the decision makers in the improvement of higher education system processes.
