• Abstract:

  In technical and scientific disciplines, carrying out experiments with real equipment is essential to consolidate the concepts acquired in theoretical classes. However, due to different reasons, real laboratories are not always available or do not have the necessary equipment for this purpose, which imposes restrictions on student learning. In some higher level educational institutions and, in particular, public ones, there are subjects that are not taken to a practical level due to the lack of the respective equipment. The Hybrid Laboratory of Fluid Mechanics based on the Internet of Things (IoT) proposed in this research work, consists of a low-cost prototype composed of a bank of sensors that allows managing the main variables used in the calculation of the power of a pump in a context of negative suction, both in real and remote mode (remote mode), as well as in a simulated way (virtual mode); both cases managed by a mobile application. This proposal is focused at the level of public higher education and, in particular, towards students who are studying the Fluid Mechanics subject of the Mechanical Engineering educational program of the Technological Institute of Aguascalientes (ITA) belonging to the National Technological Institute of Mexico (TecNM).
