Abstract
This paper presents an outline of the evaluation of the active learning taking place in an engineering course1 in the Universidad de los Andes in Colombia. The course intends to contribute to the development of the innovative attitude of Systems and Computing Engineering and Industrial Engineering students (average age is 20), through the development of competences such as:
- Engineering teamwork
- Effective communication in engineering processes
- Engineering systems design
- Management of engineering projects
Throughout the course the students work in interdisciplinary teams (5 students
each). Each team has the following of the teachers (One Computing Engineering
professor and one Industrial engineering professor) and one member of the
entrepreneurs staff (ICT leaders). Each team should propose and develop an
engineering project based on ICT innovation. This course is inspired on the CDIO
proposal (Conceive, Design, Implement, Operate), with a particular emphasis in one
additional first step: the Observe step. The OCDIO steps (observation, conception,
design, implementation and operation) of the project are developed during two academic semesters. At the end of this process, the teams present their project in a fair that’s open for the business public and in a contest. The winners of the contest
continue the next year with the implementation of the project [1]. So far, 20 groups have participated each semester and there have been 4 winning teams (20 students).
We tried to assess the teamwork evolution along the process and its relation with the
innovation attitude. In order to achieve this, we’ve had gathered information from
the entrepreneurs, teachers and students who, through observation tools, have
allowed us to define indicators related to teamwork. For the analysis we have relied
on the different evaluation instances (oral presentations, papers, the fair, and the
contest), the tools we have designed (surveys), and video recordings of different
processes.
