Item Developing competences in engineering students. The case of project management course(Universidad de Piura, 2013-10-05) Guerrero Chanduví, Dante A.; Palma Lama, Francisco Martín; La Rosa Lama, Gerson Ommar; Universidad de Piura. Facultad de Ingeniería. Área Departamental de Ingeniería Industrial y de Sistemas.Education on Engineering urges of learning methodologies different to the current ones that would allow students to profile competences in accordance to the exigencies of the competitive exercise of engineering, in which they will perform the essential functions typical of the career and develop as an upright, mature, and reflective people. Three questions are brought up in this study: Which are the basic competences that need a contemporary engineer? How can the learning of these basic competences be improved and assessed in engineering students? The results allow to show, by comparing groups of students belonging to the course of “Direccion de proyectos en Ingenieria” (Engineering Project Management), that there exists strong evidence for improvement of basic competences: underlying science knowledge, knowledge of fundamental and advanced engineering, engineering reasoning and problem solving, systemic thinking, as well as conceiving, designing, implementing and operating systems in companies and in social context. It is considered feasible to integrate the experience in other courses of Engineering reinforcing the tutorial role of the teacher, defining evaluation criteria of the course and identifying and assessing the improvement of competences during the learning process.Item Improving generic skills among engineering students through project-based learning in a project management course(Universidad de Piura, 2013-06-23) Guerrero Chanduví, Dante A.; Universidad de Piura. Facultad de Ingeniería. Área Departamental de Ingeniería Industrial y de Sistemas.; Quevedo, Valeria; Palma Lama, Francisco Martín; Vegas Chiyón, SusanaThe speed of technological change, the increase in social exigencies, and the need to take good care of the environment, has made evident that engineering graduates must have generic skills of a holistic nature in order to successfully meet future professional challenges. This paper explains the impact of a project-based learning methodology on the improvement of generic skills. The methodology was used in an undergraduate industrial engineering project management course. Measurements of student knowledge and mastery of technical, contextual and behavioral skills were performed at the beginning and end of the course. Written questionnaires that measured the three dimensions were employed; the collected data was used in a statistical and a consistency analysis. The results indicate a significant improvement in student skills that can be attributed to the use of project based learning (PBL). It is known that PBL is only one of the many possible ways to improve generic skills, but it is a powerful tool that balances and complements an engineering curriculum that strives to develop the generic skills of engineering students.
