Roadmaps
and their methodology (TRM, Technology roadmapping) is a planning
tool for
medium
-
term and long
-
term projects which is useful to any business or corporation.
Roadmaps cover many aspects that must be taken into account in a company's innovation
forecasting and their development over time, such as opportunities to launch n
ew products or
to change existing ones, marketing, new markets, competitors, capabilities and skills,
weaknesses, results exploitation, targets...
The basic beginning information of the Roadmap is the result of research on internal and
external factors o
f the company by asking questions like: What do we produce? Who are we
in our sector? What do we want to / can we achieve? What or who is our competition? What
do we have and what should we have?
This article deals with the historical development of roa
dmapping and the current state of the
art of their different methodologies as well as the clusters that generate them (EIRMA,
Northwestern, Cambridge, Purdue, Nottingham...) and their distinguishing features
.

On the amount of information content in microwave radiometry for wet delay correction
Gual de Torrellas, José María; Camps Carmona, Adriano José
The scope of this work is the determination of the set of optimum frequencies to be used in the companion microwave radiometers in future synthetic aperture radar altimeters, to provide higher spatial resolution of the atmospheric water vapor state to improve the wet delay correction in coastal regions. The channel selection is based on the study of the frequencies that provide the largest amount of information, as defined by the largest information entropy change from a prior knowledge state.

Domestic oven heated by a concentrating solar collector
Lloveras Macià, Joaquín
A project to power a domestic oven by solar energy was developed. The focal axis of a cylindrical parabolic reflector usually reaches temperatures of up to 250ºC. A heat transfer fluid carries this heat to the heat exchanger in the oven. Current domestic ovens are generally electric and can reach 250ºC with a power of 2-3 kW.
The installation is composed of pumps, valves, thermally insulated pipes, exchanger, etc. These elements transfer the heat collected by the solar collector to the oven in the house. If the installation has an accumulator tank with thermal insulation, the high temperature liquid makes it possible to use the oven at any time.
Unlike current domestic solar ovens, this technology can reach the same temperature and power as an electric oven, and be used indoors at any time.
Additionally, this system could be used for sanitary hot water purposes and radiating floors. In these cases, the high temperature is degraded mixing with cold water.

Water self-sufficiency with separate treatment of household rainwater and greywater
Lloveras Macià, Joaquín; García Blanch, Elisa; García Gisbert, Anna; Planas Gisbert, María; Rodríguez Farre, Ariadna
This paper is based on an academic work conducted by a group of students of the Engineering Project
course within the Chemical Engineering Degree at the Engineering School of Barcelona. The objective of
the exercise was to design a rainwater harvesting and greywater recycling system for a detached house
and calculate the number of people that could be self-sufficient. Local rainfall, roof area for collecting
rainwater and daily water consumption per inhabitant were considered. The effective amount of rainwater
and purified greywater was also obtained.
In this design, the rainwater is filtered, stored and preserved in a tank, and disinfected with UV light. A
small quantity can be made drinkable. The greywater is filtered, treated in a biological reactor,
flocculated, sedimented and finally disinfected with UV light.

The economic model based on the consumption of fossil fuels, mainly oil,
historically has fostered a growth of civilization, but it has not taken into account
the consequences for the environment, now beginning to be analyzed due to
the different impacts observed. It is necessary a clean energy production
worldwide.
In the current economic crisis, especially in southern Europe, one of the
challenges of change is the energy model, both to improve environmental
impacts and to improve the balance of payments, without losing
competitiveness. The first conditions that must have the new energy model
2
promoted by the European Union (EU) are the savings, efficiency and clean
energy production, discussed in this article.
Renewable energies are inexhaustible and widely distributed. Its use in a higher
percentage than today, will impact less on the environment, improve the
balance of payments, and create new jobs.

Web 2.0 or social web is understood as the group of applications and resources of Internet that facilitate the exchange of information and the collaborative work. Most of these tools are free and can be applied during the preparation and the communication of academic projects. Apart from minimizing the time and the effort, its use promotes the collaboration and communication, the critical appraisal and the exchange of knowledge.
Under the denomination “Project 2.0” a teaching material has been produced with a selection of these technological resources classified in function of their utility during the different phases of development of the project: searching information, creating virtual surveys, reading and synthesis of the documents, storing files in the cloud, analyzing data, creating conceptual maps, writing, managing bibliographic references, preparing the presentation for the oral presentations, etc.
This resource has been presented in the different subjects “Projects” at Escola Tècnica Superior d’Enginyeries Industrial i Aeronàutica de Terrassa (ETSEIAT) of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya • BarcelonaTech (UPC). In a very near future the use of these tools in the preparation of the final degree projects on the part of the students is going to be extended and evaluated.

Conceptual design guide for energy and water consumptions
Lloveras Macià, Joaquín
The present paper proposes to analyze the consumption of Energy or/and Water (E/W) in the conceptual design (CD) stage of a product, in order to optimize this consumption. The product normally spends more resources in the use stage.
The paper also discusses issues in the worldwide and in Europe, and particularly in Catalonia, a Mediterranean country which has small fossil fuel deposits and has recently had periods of drought, making it necessary to watch over water consumption.
This article proposes a brief methodological guide including five questions for the designer, or design team, to consider more environmental-friendly consumption alternatives. Ideally, these should be applied in the early conceptual design stage of any product for the entire world.
A case study shows the work by a group of students of Creativity, Ecodesign and Patents subject (academic year 2012-13) entitled "Rainwater storage system for blocks of flats". While thinking about the questions in the methodological guide for the use of E/W, appeared a solution that eliminates the energy consumption in the operation of the installation.

Mechatronic design for students: model based on industrial engineering techniques
González Almaguer, Carlos Alberto; Manríquez, José; Trelles, Sergio; Reyes, Luis D.; Neria, Xochitl; Acevedo, Armando; Avila, José M.; Lloveras Macià, Joaquín; Rioja, Oscar
The present paper proposes a methodology for mechatronic design projects based on industrial engineering techniques. Today, in industrial production the reduction of research and development time is one of the most important goals for engineers. This reduction will allow products to enter the market more efficiently, thus increasing profits for organizations. The analysis made on the Product Life Cycle (PLC) reveals the two areas where time is critical: R&D and project construction. The use of Design of Experiments (DOE), supported by Creativity Phase and Project Management techniques, are powerful tools to reduce time in the initial phase of the project. However, students, engineers, and scientists consistently avoid the use of industrial engineering and applied statistical techniques. Many textbooks and courses primarily focus on statistical analysis, thus forgetting planning, design, execution, analysis, and interpretation. The aim of this paper is to change today’s teaching focus in
engineering techniques towards new teaching models where scientific concepts and theories are applied to real world problems. To support this intention, students from ITESM Campus Queretaro worked on the development of a robotic project using a new model to design projects rapidly and efficiently. In line with the vision and mission of ITESM, this paper reflects the development of new models and techniques for learning projects oriented towards a methodology for the construction of high performance mechatronics design for students of mechatronic engineering.

Valuation of questions in presentations of group projects
Lloveras Macià, Joaquín
This paper evaluates the effectiveness of using rounds of questions posed by work groups of an
Engineering Project course after their project presentations. Before, students were offered the
possibility of putting questions to speakers before the lecturer asked his/her own questions.
Unfortunately, student participation was often very low and questions sometimes lacked depth, or
were irrelevant or poorly stated. However, question time is a good moment to raise doubts, which can
help presenters think about their project. That is, student and lecturer participation can open the minds
of presenters to new ideas about their own work. Students’ questions may even expand on the
lecturer's questions and also create a spirit of positive criticism among students as part of student
training. To enhance student participation, a controlled process is followed. Work groups think up and
write questions which are later included in their project portfolio. Finally, student questionnaires are
used to assess the process. Details of questionnaires and results, as well as an example of a project, are
given elsewhere in the paper
