BONILLA CELY, Sandra Milena e OCHOA-DUARTE, Alexei. Buen Vivir and Engaged Engineering as alternatives to redesign the Engineering curriculum. RP [online]. 2023, vol.11, n.2, pp. 29-43. Epub 20-Out-2023. ISSN 2308-3042.
At different times and in different areas, engineering has played a significant role in our society. However, educational approaches in the engineering discipline have been based on a developmentalist economic discourse, far from the realities and needs of each country. In response to this situation, some emerging and alternative positions have emerged in Latin America, such as Buen Vivir and Engaged Engineering, which propose a different vision of engineering education. In this context, the question that arises is how to reconfigure the engineering curriculum based on these alternative approaches. In order to transform the current conditions and make better decisions in the educational system, it is essential to first identify and analyze these initiatives and then to address the proposal of a curriculum design that reconfigures engineering practices, responding to the needs as well as socioeconomic and cultural changes in today's society. This proposal should consider different worldviews and social approaches to engineering practice. This paper aims at systematizing the basis that support Buen Vivir and Engaged Engineering positions, using a qualitative approach based on the review of the existing literature. Its purpose is to offer a first approach towards an alternative curriculum in engineering, as a contribution to the education and ways of teaching this profession, seeking to move towards Buen Vivir and Engaged Engineering positions.
