Ambiente virtual para auxílio no ensino e aprendizagem de projetos de instalações elétricas prediais.

Abstract

This article presents the main steps into developing Proj-Elétrica, a game-like virtual environment made to support the teaching and learning process of electrical installation projects in buildings. The game was developed using Construct 2©, which amongst other advantages, it’s free and easely understandable. By playing Proj-Elétrica, the users can test their knowledge about electrical instalations while completing elements of the electrical plant on the house’s rooms. The rooms variation allows the exploration of different patterns of electrical ducts, which expands the player’s comprehension about the subject. The game facilitates the study of electrical installations and can be used to improve the teaching and learning both for teachers and students. Beyond that, the Proj- Elétcica can also be useful to engineers ant technicians that don’t want to learn, but instead revisit the concepts inherent to electrical installations in buildings.
