Abstract

This study was conducted in the Mechatronics Department at the Technological University of Altamira (UTA), where work is being done to boost the academic performance of students of Hydraulic and Pneumatic Systems (Spanish acronym: SHYN) by investigating the use of the computer simulation software FluidSIM-P. Focusing on an exercise in which the students learn to apply practical concepts, two groups could then be compared: one using the simulation software, and the other using traditional methods. Finally, we compared the results with the students’ academic performance. The study was carried out over a period of four months, and the results demonstrate that the students improved according to each one of the indicators.
