Description: Although society, governments and the business sector are increasingly demanding that Higher Academic Centers translate their innovative potential into products and services that affect society, little is known or done about the entrepreneurial skills that both lecturers and students need in the context of electronic engineering academic degrees. Inevitably, the fact that some teachers lack certain skill sets will have a negative impact on some students’ professional careers. This article demonstrates a range of initiatives in knowledge transfer which have been carried out over more than 30 years by the university research team making the proposal. Such initiatives have allowed the integration of, not only creative thinking, but also other skills differing from traditional teaching and which can help students to successfully compete for jobs requiring higher qualifications. Following the methodology of a case study within the framework of the Polytechnic University School of Vilanova i la Geltrú (EPSEVG) of the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC), the novelty of the research lies in its focus on the results obtained. In the 1990s, entrepreneurial initiatives encouraged the creation of reference laboratories and the teaching of innovative subjects in the field of virtual instrumentation. Years later, this teaching activity would be complemented by the launch of lines of research/technology transfer. It should be noted that, in its initial stages, this entrepreneurial trajectory was characterized by limited material and human resources, but thanks to the discovery of little-explored areas of activity (niches), opting for working in cooperation networks (sciencetechnology symbiosis), and the entrepreneurial profile of the members of the research team, it has been possible to gain a space in the research/development of marine technologies in the national and European context, as stated in the text. This empirical research has contributed significantly to shaping a new degree in Marine Sciences and Technologies. Likewise, the results of this study reveal that a significant number of electronic engineering students have acquired entrepreneurial skills by engaging in teaching and research and development activities in different Higher Academic Centers.

Description: This collection of datasets contains data measured by various CTD instruments which have been deployed at the OBSEA platform since May, 2009. OBSEA is a permanent underwater cabled seabed observatory located in front of the Catalan's coast near Barcelona, at 20 m depth which is used as a test site for different experiments related with marine sensors. It has a sea station and a ground station, which include a surface buoy equipped with weather station and camera and a coastal cabled system (seabed platform). OBSEA is part of the European Multidisciplinary Seafloor Observatory (EMSO) infrastructure and participates as a Coastal Observatory data provider and Test Site on the JERICO-RI. For a comfortable handling of these CTD data they were summarized monthly to one data set each. A complete list of the datasets belonging to this collection can be found at the end of this page.

Description: This collection of datasets contains data measured by two weather stations related to the OBSEA platform since Feb, 2010. The first weather station is deployed at the OBSEA buoy, the second is located at the OBSEA shore station on top of the UPC building. OBSEA is a permanent underwater cabled seabed observatory located in front of the Catalan's coast near Barcelona, at 20 m depth which is used as a test site for different experiments related with marine sensors. It has a sea station and a ground station, which include a surface buoy equipped with weather station and camera and a coastal cabled system (seabed platform). OBSEA is part of the European Multidisciplinary Seafloor Observatory (EMSO) infrastructure and participates as a Coastal Observatory data provider and Test Site on the JERICO-RI. For a comfortable handling of these weather station data they were summarized monthly to one data set each.
