“…Taking into account what has been mentioned in the preceding sections, it is feasible to place the object of the research in the set of theories associated with active competencies (Penn, Currie, Hoad and O'Brien, 2016;Mertler, 2016), the facilitating role of the teacher, co-responsibility and student autonomy (Contreras-Pacheco et al, 2017;Yildiz and Palak, 2016;Potash and Kalmanowitz, 2016).…”

One of focuses of interest in engineering is that professionals remain active and update their different knowledge: knowing, doing and being, in this sense it is essential that young people in training acquire skills, abilities and competencies that allow them autonomy and the constant search for tailor-made solutions, considering the different forces in the environment, such as climate change and citizens. The inclusion of communities is relevant when solving problems, as in the case of this research, in wastewater. During two academic semesters of 2019, we worked with a vulnerable community, families living in camps or land grabs, in Viña del Mar, Chile. In the first place, the survey of drinking water needs and disposal of its gray and black waters was carried out, a limited, accessible and easily understood engineering proposal was developed, in the same way, government and/or private financing modalities were presented. Incorporating not only design and measurement activities, but also dialogues with the community, showing their pain and difficulties. More than 85% of families agreed with the solution, the same with the students who participated.

“…To On the other hand, there is the component of analysis through surveys and focus groups, interviews, etc., associated with the academic work with engineering students, which manages to detect needs, turning points and reflection, so as to contribute to the Yildiz and Palak, 2016;Rodriguez and Guerra, 2017).…”

“…These studies include elements that allow delving into context problems with a playful, entertaining approach, without losing rigor, starting from a basic notion or idea to the achievement of the goals of each course group, for obtaining the skills and abilities associated with the energy performance of companies, government institutions and institutions of higher education, in the case of Chile and abroad (Contreras-Pacheco, Pedraza and Barbosa, 2017;Yildiz and Palak, 2016;Potash and Kalmanowitz, 2016;Penn, Currie, Hoad and O'Brien, 2016;Mertler, 2016;Cabero 2017). This means that young people have to incorporate in their academic work different tools that provide them with the competencies set out in each graduate profile and that in this case are associated with a particular context, under the socio-training perspective, Brazilian Journal of Development, Curitiba, v.9, n.2, p. 7155-7169, feb., 2023 with the corresponding engineering seal, so that their deliverables have the technical perspective, the perspective of sustainability and good practices in energy (Hernández, Suarez, and Rico-Bautista, 2017;Contreras-Pacheco and Ruíz, 2015;Contreras-Pacheco, Barbosa, and Hernández, 2015;Contreras-Pacheco, Muñoz, and Hernández, 2015;Contreras-Pacheco and Rodríguez, 2015;Romero, Vidal, and Ramírez, 2019;Roig-Vila, 2016).…”

One of the key tools for the proper use of energy is energy efficiency. In the training process of Engineering students at the University of Playa Ancha, the transversal course of "Energy Efficiency" is offered every academic semester, this research analyzes the learning results obtained by students during three years (2018, 2019 and 2020), equivalent to 5 consecutive semesters, with a universe of 90 young people from 5 careers: Environmental Civil Engineering, Industrial Civil, Environmental, Computer Science and Statistics, linking Competencies achieved through the application of active teaching methodologies: Problem-Based Learning and Project- Based Learning, with analysis of practical cases and with the use of gamification tools, which promote collaborative work between them, instruments are applied (surveys and interviews) at the beginning of the semester, in the middle and at the end of it: the main results showed that: the 3 0% of the students at the beginning of the semester express their interest in this type of strategies, 60% consider that this way of teaching undergraduate courses should become more widespread, in the middle of each semester, 85% indicate that they have internalized the knowledge and is already using the skills and abilities acquired.

The article aims to consider the formation of global professional competence of students of pedagogical universities, which is the key to the effective professional education of future teachers. In the course of the study, pedagogical conditions are proposed for presenting innovative technologies to form the professional competence of specialists. The level of global dependence is frequently growing, which dictates the need for the training of qualified teaching staff that could effectively solve emerging global problems and take an active position in the society of globalization. In this regard, there is a need to form the global professional competence of students of pedagogical universities, which is the key to effective professional education for prospective teachers. A key element of global professional competence is productive communication, including international communication, which becomes possible by mastering at least one foreign language. Building contacts in a foreign language is one of the global professional competencies and determines success in professional activities after obtaining professional education. Thus, one of the tasks of professional education in training future teachers as part of the formation of competence is the formation and development of the skills required for fruitful intercultural communication, as well as for understanding and accepting representatives of other cultures through transdisciplinary and post-disciplinary approaches.
