About

Ana Luna is a dedicated engineering educator whose research focuses on optimizing learning strategies for Industry 4.0 competencies, particularly within business engineering programs. Her work addresses the critical challenge of preparing students for a digitalized industrial landscape, integrating technologies like IoT, robotics, and virtual reality into curricula. Luna’s most cited paper (10 citations) explores how to effectively assimilate these competencies, while her subsequent studies tackle the perennial issue of student engagement in physics and electronics. Notably, she champions project-based learning (PBL) approaches, demonstrating how robotics projects can make fundamental electronics concepts accessible and exciting for undergraduates. Her 2020 paper on this method has garnered 8 citations, reflecting its practical value. More recently, Luna has ventured into applied robotics, co-authoring a 2022 study on a rescue robot using Arduino for natural disaster response. Across her work, she consistently bridges theory and hands-on application, aiming to spark lasting interest in STEM fields. With a growing citation record and a clear focus on pedagogical innovation, Ana Luna is making tangible contributions to engineering education in the era of digital transformation.
