Abstract
During the pandemic, universities had to change the teaching modality, going from in-person to virtual. This limited the opportunity to learn about digital manufacturing technologies experientially. Given this, the “Ruta Maker” program was adapted, incorporating ecosystems of learning resources for digital manufacturing. The objective of knowing in the students of the “Ruta Maker” program the scope of a comprehensive ecosystem of virtual learning resources in the strengthening of technological skills, in the adoption of a maker in house and DIY culture and in the construction of manufacturing machines open source digital. It is a cross-sectional study, with intentional sampling, where four instruments were applied to 48 university students from the “Ruta Maker” program. An adequate level of learning was achieved in the program. In axis 1 “Technological skills 4.0” the dimension “2D and 3D Design” stood out (83%). In axis 2 “Experiment spaces”, the dimension “MASLOW CNC Layout” had a better result than the other dimensions (83%). In axis 3 “DIY Culture Digital Manufacturing Machines”, the two dimensions had similar achievements (73% and 71%). Student satisfaction values the Fabber Tech team and the support/prototyping more. In conclusion, digital manufacturing learning ecosystems in virtual mode are a pedagogical option that allows digital design and manufacturing at home, promoting the Maker-DIY culture.
