ACUNA, Edwin Gerardo Acuña. Strategies to Promote Research in Engineering Students in Latin American Universities. NTQR [online]. 2023, vol.17, e867.  Epub 01-Dic-2023. ISSN 2184-7770.  https://doi.org/10.36367/ntqr.17.2023.e867.

At present, in the university institutions they are creating new policies and strategies aimed at reducing the gap between research, the curriculum and the professional pedagogical practice of engineering students. Therefore, due to the incipient research in the Engineering degrees in Industrial, mechatronics, system and biomedical engineering of the different universities of Latin America, the objective of this project was to design and implement a model, which in a systematic, interrelated and with industry orientation, it allows Engineering students to start scientific research processes, acting as co-producers of their own training. For participating universities, research activity becomes a factor of opportunity and academic growth for their universities. All this through the elaboration of research projects and training in different lines of engineering, thanks to the participation of its students in the proposed research seedbeds, which contribute to the promotion of the investigative culture among its population from activities that generate investigative training, formative research and networking. The organization of learning in these cases, the participating universities at each level of training in Engineering majors will be based on the research process corresponding to the formative research process of each of the projects discussed and the generative research process. It will potentiate the development of knowledge, processes and attitudes for technological, scientific, financial, humanistic and artistic innovation, framed in research in the engineering faculties of the participating universities in undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate courses. The joint participation of the teachers of each school and the students will make it possible for the school’s research process to begin to acquire its own identity naturally associated with the profile.
