 5. Challenges of Engineering Without Frontiers in Colombia 

Summary

The role of the engineer in the development of the country is clear, as a result of this profession is to conceive models and artifacts, which are intended to solve a specific problem. The practice of engineering, in this context, has the capacity and function of promoting the welfare, development and quality of life in vulnerable communities. This function requires the articulated effort between the different disciplines of engineering, public and private institutions, civil society, and of course, the participants or beneficiary communities. With efforts and partnerships of this kind it is possible to form joint ventures and positive social impact proactive cooperation.

Through this coffee citizenship, it seeks to create a space for reflection and debate, through the conversation invite to share experiences and concerns in partnerships engineering work – community of high social impact. Similarly, through dialogue, we want to create the basis for forming a borderless network engineering nationally, as a space to think and act the role of engineering and its social responsibility in Colombia.

6. Leisure methodologies for teaching focused systemic thought to sustainable development

GEIO research group of the Faculty of Engineering of the Technological University of Pereira, is a team of teachers and students working in research and development of new teaching methods based on playful and experiential learning. GEIO has ventured into academic national and international stages that have allowed it to strengthen their scientific work and accompany 23 institutions of higher education in the country in the implementation of industrial engineering lab tools based on experiential through play. These institutions currently make the IDDEAL RED, Network Research, Development and Dissemination of teaching and learning processes through Playful, which seeks to contribute in improving the teaching and learning of engineering in Colombia.

One of the cross-cutting themes in which GEIO work is systems thinking as a tool to view and understand the world and propose real solutions to the problems that arise in the context, including the engagement of economic and social progress with natural systems and conservation, which is one of the greatest challenges facing humanity. To explain the importance of the development of systems thinking in college students through methodologies that guide and motivate learning, GEIO proposes a workshop where attendees can, experiencing reflect and discuss the use of playful thinker to enhance skills Systemic on college students and their potential to provide solutions to environmental problems facing mankind today.

Justification

Shape a sustainable world it is the greatest learning challenge that humanity has ever faced (Senge et al., 2008). To achieve education is challenged to involve knowledge, skills, attitudes and values, not to mention, as noted Unesco “… participatory teaching and learning methods that motivate students and equip them autonomy to change their conduct and facilitate action for sustainable development. ” During this process, education must face the fact that despite the existence of widespread consensus on the deterioration of ecosystems and the threat it poses to the future, the process of deterioration continues to happen; an identifiable reason for this inconsistency is that people do not understand the dynamics of the systems involved (ecosystems, social systems, climate system, etc.) and because of this easily mistakes with serious consequences.

Of these arguments is derived the need to develop educational tools that promote the development of systems thinking in people in order to put the mental models light well, stop operating in crisis and start to act in ways less fragmented and more integrated (Booth and Meadows, 1995), on issues of sustainable development, mean tools for understanding the causal relationships between human activities and possible characteristics of natural, social and economic ecosystems involving sustainability.

GEIO from its research in environmental management, led by teachers and students of Industrial Engineering, has worked on the creation of a course in which it is proposed to use active methodologies and constructivist to treat systemic thinking around theme of sustainable development, so that engineers develop training skills related to a holistic view, thus, from his professional role implement actions that generate business man-society relationship in which the environment is a transversal topic. Thus, GEIO responds to a felt need to integrate into the curricula of engineering systems thinking issues and sustainable development, in order to couple productivity with environmental conservation; however, the team proposed an innovative methodological approach. 

Objectives 

General 

Present through a workshop a proposal for a course for teaching systems thinking focused on the theme of Sustainable Development Engineering students through recreational methodologies. 

Specific

  • Present structure with articulated course curricula of Engineering.
  • Experiencing some fundamental concepts of systems thinking focused on environmental issues, through leisure activities.
  • Create a space for reflection on where we can discuss about the thematic and methodological relevance of the proposal

Programming and methodology 

During the workshop attendees will be part of a practical class where they can observe, implement and discuss the use of recreational generating systems thinker skills in college students, in a context of environmental issues. A schedule is presented below:

Systemic theme Methodology Duration
Introduction to the proposal Oral presentation 10 minutes
Basic definition of system and its properties Story “The complaint of Gecko” 20 minutes
Influences diagram Ludic “Living Loops” 30 minutes
Systemic archetypes and approach to Dynamic Systems Ludic “harvest” 45 minutes
Close and conclusions Conversatory 15 minutes
