Optimization laboratory practice using serious games

In this paper we describe how it has implemented the use of “serious games” to perform engineering laboratory practices. The idea has arisen watching overcrowded classrooms, where Student-teacher ratio is higher than desirable. In these cases it is hard to get a quickly and effectively learning of relevant concepts that practical sessions require. To analyze the results (learning degree in practical sessions) have been taken into account various student's groups and different methodology for practical sessions implementation.
