About
M.C. Morató is a pioneering figure in agricultural engineering education, specializing in the integration of mechatronics, automated control, and information and communication technologies (ICT) within agricultural curricula. Her major contributions center on developing innovative, hands-on pedagogical approaches that bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application. Notably, she led the AGROMECATIC project, which coordinated mathematical, physical, and engineering contents to create a transversal learning path for agricultural students. Her most cited works, including "AGROTECH09: BUILDING AGRICULTURAL ROBOTS WITH LEGO MINDSTORM" and "Fitting into their shoes: how robots help multidisciplinary approaches under cooperative learning" (each with 4 citations), demonstrate her commitment to using robotics—specifically LEGO Mindstorms—as a tool for fostering multidisciplinary and multicultural collaboration. By designing activities that require students to apply agronomy, math, physics, and engineering principles to build agricultural robots, Morató has shown how cooperative learning and robotics can make highly specialized subjects more accessible and interconnected. Her work remains a valuable resource for educators seeking to modernize agricultural engineering training through experiential, project-based learning.
