Educación, ingeniería, siglo XXI

Resumen

Los programas de ingeniería tienen un papel crucial que desempeñar para que la formación de los futuros ingenieros sea exitosa y se adapten a las necesidades de la sociedad del siglo XXI. A través de la revisión bibliográfica, el diálogo con actores de la academia, la industria y entes gubernamentales se identificaron unos tópicos fundamentales que los programas de ingeniería deben constantemente monitorear para adaptar sus currículos, métodos de enseñanza, procesos de admisión y retención de estudiantes. Dentro estos tópicos se destacan: los rápidos cambios en el mercado laboral, avances tecnológicos en educación y la creciente necesidad de diversidad e inclusión. Para hacer frente a estos retos, la enseñanza de la ingeniería debe ser más adaptable, receptiva e integradora, y centrarse en el desarrollo de las competencias más demandadas en el mercado laboral, un aprendizaje más práctico y basado en proyectos, enfoques interdisciplinarios, competencias interpersonales y elementos éticos y sociales
