“…14 suggest that the activities of active, collaborative and experiential learning had a great impact on the learning process of the students of the experimental group, who achieved -in 3 semesters-up to 44% strengthening in the case of criticality and up to 31% strengthening in the case of case of creativity. These results confirm studies published by the authors in 2021 [27,53] and are consistent with the results obtained in recent studies from 2022, such as those by Higde and Aktamış [33] and Giuliano et al [41].…”

“…This model is made up of four elements: the Tribe, that encourages individuals to make mistakes whose roots are in human nature in general, for example with superstitions, fantasies and myths; the Market, that generates in individuals the erroneous methods that come from exchange and language, such as misunderstandings and prejudices; the Cavern, whose incitements to error have strictly individual causes, such as traumas and frustrations; and the Theater, that produces those errors that have their origin in fashion or the general opinion of society, generating trends and political positions [40]. One of the most recent studies on critical thinking in engineering is that of Giuliano et al [41] that develops some ideas to strengthen the inclusion of humanistic knowledge in science education. The study includes a novel formal definition of the term "judgment" to illuminate the conceptual links between technical rationality and critical thinking in the context of the engineering profession.…”

The current demands of the labor market demand a new compendium of skills from engineering graduates. To develop skills at a more complex level, this study analyzed the use of second-generation Video Essays and Podcasts to improve soft skills. The characteristics of students belonging to Generation Z as digital natives were considered and digital platforms were adapted for interaction in social networks to enhance critical thinking and creativity (Criticality). Active learning experiences in different engineering programs were analyzed using the 4-group Solomon methodology with a quantitative design and different assessment instruments were used for Pre-Tests and Post-Tests, including various fluency and originality tests, as well as answering articulation ability tests. and modified VALUE rubrics from the Association of American Colleges and Universities (AAC&U). Our results clearly suggest that the use of these two tools substantially improves understanding of scientific concepts in engineering subjects, a greater ability to develop increasingly in-demand skill sets, and a greater awareness of creative thinking competence.

“…Téngase en cuenta que la ingeniería es la profesión en la que el conocimiento de las ciencias matemáticas y naturales adquiridas mediante el estudio, la experiencia y la práctica, se emplea con buen juicio a fin de desarrollar modos en que se puedan utilizar, de manera óptima, los materiales y las fuerzas de la naturaleza en beneficio de la humanidad, en el contexto de restricciones éticas, físicas, económicas, ambientales, humanas, políticas, legales y culturales. Algunos autores [2], [3], proponen que el correcto ejercicio del buen juicio conlleva necesariamente, en un sentido fuerte, la necesidad de que los estudiantes adquieran, además de conocimientos en ciencias matemáticas y naturales, conocimientos en ciencias sociales y humanidades y entrenamiento en el uso del denominado "pensamiento crítico". Sin embargo, como sostienen Ahern y colaborares en [4], el desarrollo de la competencia del pensamiento crítico en estudiantes de ingeniería es un tema relativamente poco explorado que requiere de mayor elaboración:…”

En este artículo se presentan algunas sugerencias acerca de cómo tematizar en carreras de ingeniería el desarrollo de competencias sociales, políticas y actitudinales que colaboren al despliegue de un perfil de egreso que garantice que el graduado posea una adecuada formación que lo habilite para aprender y desarrollar nuevas tecnologías, con actitud ética, crítica y creativa. Específicamente se focalizará en el pensamiento y el actuar crítico como saber enseñable. Se considera a este saber constitutivo de las habilidades intelectuales y actitudes profesionales que despliega o deberían desplegar los estudiantes en sus trayectorias formativas: leer y escribir textos académicos en contexto; argumentar y justificar decisiones, y analizar y proyectar procesos o artefactos tecnológicos contemplando la dimensión social, económica y ambiental. Finalmente, se suman algunas posibilidades, como puntos de referencia provisionales, para ayudar a pensar su inclusión en las propuestas curriculares.

Contextualization in engineering education: A scoping literature review

BackgroundEngineering educators prepare students for responsible, ethical, and socially aware engineering practice by contextualizing engineering in a variety of ways. Recently, ABET and the NAE have prioritized engineers' ability to make judgments considering a variety of contexts and specifically advocated for building engineers' contextual competencies.PurposeEducators can often agree that contextualizing engineering work and problems is beneficial, while taking different approaches to that contextualization. It is important for engineering educators to know how their modes of contextualization compare with others, as well as how they define and achieve success.Scope/MethodThis scoping literature review answers two research questions: How are engineering educators contextualizing engineering through their programs, courses, and pedagogies? And what are the justifications, motivations, or desired ends of engineering educators' contextualization? The original search yielded 500 articles from pertinent engineering education venues. After detailed exclusion and inclusion criteria were applied, 104 relevant articles were analyzed.ResultsThese remaining articles were sorted into six modes of contextualization: context tools, professional skills, real‐world problems, design, sociotechnical thinking, and social impact. The categorization and analysis led to a complex understanding of the multiplicity of contextualization in engineering education.ConclusionsThe wide variety of modes of contextualization results in a variety of bettering strategies, or ways that these forms of pedagogy can improve engineering education, and, in turn, larger engineering contexts. We conclude that engineering content and context are “interactional” and co‐constructed, showing how different modes of contextualization demarcate different images of what engineering content and contexts are and ought to be.
