Towards a Disruptive Active Learning Engineering Education

摘要

Challenge Based Learning has been proposed as a teaching-learning technique that helps students develop skills and competencies. A challenge exposes the students to the solution of problems under conditions far out of their comfort zone. A model for the deployment of this technique has been developed at Tecnologico de Monterrey. The model takes the student through a full semester project in an industrial environment. Specific course contents are taught in a modular way during the semester. The model has been labeled i Semester. This article describes some of the challenges of the implementation of the model.
