Engineering educational cockpit: Visualization by integration of heterogeneous environments

A good education is always concern to parents, schools, companies and governments. Nowadays, engineering education gained attention because there is a large necessity of high level professionals. The computer, the WWW, the learning systems management, remote labs and appropriate educational approaches can improve engineering formation. This paper inquires how engineering education can employ laboratory experiences, driven student approach, learning management systems and intelligent tutoring systems (ITS) to draw up an educational engineering control center showing the students´ learning progress, enabling professors to motivate and help students to increase their performance. This study is at initial state and is looking for a gap in these areas.
