Una mañana de lunes, como en cualquier semana, abrí mi ventana esperando ver el hermoso paisaje de mi pueblo, Poza Rica. Pero, esta mañana, a diferencia de las otras 5000 que habré pasado a lo largo de mi vida, el sol ya no estaba ahí. Una sombra oscura era lo que veían mis ojos que poco a poco se llenaban de lágrimas como consecuencia del humo, el...

The work of an engineer involves the conceptualization, design, and implementation of new and improved artifacts. However, what sets engineering apart from other professions is the direct responsibility of engineers to think critically and design innovative solutions to solve complex problems in social systems. Unfortunately, the solutions often do...

Since 2005, and thanks to the fostering of an interdisciplinary team of experts, academics, researchers, activists, engineers or related to it, the International Conference on Engineering, Social Justice and Peace arises, in the search for alternative approaches to make, live and educate in engineering.

Small-scale artisanal mining, MAPE (for its initials in Spanish), presents significant challenges and opportunities that must be analyzed systemically. To carry out the analysis, this paper proposes the PAIIO methodology (Participation, Actors, Impact, Idealized design, Opportunities), based on the Russell Ackoff Interactive Planning methodology. T...

Un mapa interactivo que presenta un panorama de posibilidades para una práctica comprometida y abierta de la ingeniería. El mapa cuatro secciones, cada una con un video correspondiente en YouTube, que se pueden recorrer en cualquier orden. Todas las ideas presentadas son subjetivas, los autores invitan a continuar la discusión en la herramienta de...

En nuestra sociedad, no solo han cambiado las formas de producir, circular y utilizar el conocimiento de ingeniería, sino también su lugar dentro de la sociedad y la cultura. Si algo caracteriza al mundo actual es la creciente demanda de nuevas formas de aplicar ingeniería, medios de producción e innovaciones organizativas. Este cambio cobra releva...

In Colombia, the desertion average rate shows that only around half of the students that begin an undergraduate program are finishing their studies. Although several models have been developed, the results of the implementation of strategies for student retention have not been sufficiently effective. Therefore, this study focuses on the creation of...

In Colombia, poor management of the water resource creates water-related problems,. These problematic situation require sustainable engineering solutions developed by professionals with the ability to recognize global needs, teamwork and the impact of their solutions on the future of humanity. In this sense, to reinforce the processes of quality in...

This paper explores the relevance of the action research for design of technological solutions that lead to both systemic sustainable development and active involvement of the community. The paper shows how this idea was implemented in a project for water resource conservation with educational institutions of rural areas in Colombia. Through the us...

Esta primera edición de la Revista Internacional de Ingeniería, Justicia Social y Paz-RIIJSP-en su versión en español buscar generar una nueva plataforma de divulgación y comunicación científica alrededor de las interacciones desde una visión plural de la Ingeniería, la Justicia Social y la Paz, áreas, que quizás, desde una perspectiva tradicional...

Purpose – This study aims to present a systemic methodological proposal for the reduction of water consumption in rural areas, based on participatory tools. Design/methodology/approach – A theoretical framework was constructed based on the importance of stakeholders’ participation in the adequate use of the hydro resources, technologies to save wa...

With funding from a National Science Foundation (NSF) IUSE/PFE REvolutionizing engineering and computer science Departments (RED) grant, the Shiley-Marcos School of Engineering at the University of San Diego is working to produce and disseminate a model for redefining the engineering education canon with the goal of developing “Changemaking Enginee...

Countries like Japan, South Korea, Israel and Sweden, among others, has proven that the value of a region does not depend solely from natural resources, but intellectual capital is also necessary to create capabilities towards regional development. Bogota, the biggest city of Colombia, concentrates most of the financial and human resources of the c...

Increasingly diversity researchers call for further studies of group micro-processes and dynamics to understand the paradoxical effects of diversity on group performance. In this study, based on analyses of in-group, networked, homophilous interactions, we aim to explain further the effects of diversity on group performance in a parallel problem-so...

Project-based learning (PBL) has proven to be a powerful tool for developing professional skills by creating a formative identity through active learning. In addition, in a changing and increasingly ICT-oriented world, educators should be able to include these tools in their practices. However, few studies had explored the relationship between PBL...

El aprendizaje basado en proyectos (ABP) ha demostrado ser una poderosa herramienta para desarrollar habilidades profesionales mediante la creación de una identidad formativa a través del aprendizaje activo. Además, en un mundo cambiante y cada vez más orientado hacia las TIC, los educadores deberían involucrar estas herramientas en sus prácticas....

The bridge between theory and practice is one of the toughest barriers that engineering students should face while working for the first time. In addition, Colombia has many prevailing needs that could be surpassed through engineering sustainable solutions. Seeking to reduce this bridge, a methodology was proposed to connect engineering students wi...

SOBRE LA ACII Y SU PRIMER CONGRESO José Ramiro Bertieri Quintero, Director Ejecutivo de la ACII El primer programa de formación en Ingeniería Industrial en Colombia, fue fundado por el Ing.
