Can you imagine turning an idea into a tangible project, using the latest technologies and learning in a practical way? That is precisely what you do in the Multimedia Engineering Degree at the University of Alicante through Project-Based Learning (PBL).
PBL is not just an educational methodology; it is a deep immersion in the world of development, where you are the protagonists. From the very first moment, you face real challenges, working as a team and making decisions that directly impact the final result.
In this first iteration, we invite you to explore the exciting beginning of the project, Litespark, and to discover the talent that is breathed in the UA through the projects of your mates.
Litespark: Shaping the Sport of the Future with 3D
At Litespark, we are creating FieldMaster, a 3D sports strategy simulation platform.
If you want to know more about the specific functionalities of FieldMaster, we invite you to visit the dedicated page. Here, we want to tell you about the experience of developing this project within the framework of PBL.
PBL challenges you to apply theoretical knowledge in a real context. From the conception of the idea to planning and development, each stage is a constant learning process. In this first iteration, we have focused on defining the foundations of the project, establishing the objectives, the main functionalities and the restrictions.
This initial process is crucial, as it lays the foundations for the rest of the development. We have carried out exhaustive research on the market and the needs of potential users, which has allowed us to define a clear approach and a solid value proposition.
It has been a process of research, design and collaboration with the team, where we have learned to work together, to make consensual decisions and to overcome the first obstacles, which always arise in the initial phases of a project. Effective communication within the team has been key to coordinating tasks and resolving any doubts or differences that may arise.
Inspiration and Collaboration: Other PBL Projects at the UA
The University of Alicante is a hotbed of creativity. The collaborative environment between students is essential for the success of your projects. Sharing ideas, receiving constructive feedback and learning from the experiences of other classmates greatly enriches the learning process. Here are some examples of the innovation that is taking place at the UA:
Visionary: A New Perspective in Optics
Visionary offers an interactive 3D anatomical model for learning Optics and Optometry.
Imagine being able to explore the human eye in 3D, interacting with each of its parts. Visionary makes more visual and intuitive learning possible, facilitating the understanding of complex concepts. This project demonstrates the potential of 3D technology for education in scientific areas.

SiQuiero!: Your Perfect Wedding in 3D
SiQuiero! helps you plan your ideal wedding by visualizing and customizing spaces in 3D.
With an interactive design, a support chatbot and the possibility of collaborating with wedding planners and suppliers in real time, SiQuiero! transforms wedding planning into a fluid and personalized experience. This project stands out for its focus on user experience and the integration of different technologies to offer a complete service.
EngineXplore: Deciphering the Secrets of Engines
EngineXplore immerses you in the world of engine mechanics through 3D interaction.
Explore the parts, understand their operation and learn to diagnose faults in a practical and enjoyable way. This project is an excellent example of how gamification and interactivity can improve learning in technical areas.
The PBL Experience at the University of Alicante: Beyond the Project
Project-Based Learning (PBL) at the University of Alicante goes beyond the simple development of a product. This is a comprehensive learning experience that prepares you for the professional world.
Through PBL, you learn to manage projects from start to finish, to work effectively in a team, to solve problems creatively and to communicate clearly and precisely. In addition, this methodology gives you the opportunity to connect with other students, share innovative ideas and build a valuable network of contacts that will accompany you in your professional future.
PBL teaches you to adapt to changes, to seek creative solutions to challenges and to defend your ideas with solid and convincing arguments. In short, this methodology provides you with the necessary tools to face the challenges of the working world with confidence.
