Abstract

The Education Innovation Group CITEX of the University of A Coruña is composed of professors and research assistants from degrees related to Marine Engineering and Naval Architecture and Industrial Engineering, which are taught in the Higher Polytechnic School in Ferrol.The main objectives of this group include improving the academic results of the students of these degrees and their visibility and attractiveness, which have been historically low. These goals are proposed to be obtained by using singular experimental research facilities: a hydrodynamic towing tank, two wind tunnels and a valve cavitation system, all placed in the Centre for Technological Research (CIT) of the University of A Coruña in Ferrol.In this work, the activities done within some courses of these degrees for increasing their success rates, together with the dissemination of these degrees and the research facilities directed to a broad spectrum of public, are described.
