SABLON-COSSIO, Neyfe et al. Practical and Methodological Guide to Help Engineering Students Carry out their Research. Rev. Cubana Edu. Superior [online]. 2020, vol.39, n.1  Epub Apr 01, 2020. ISSN 0257-4314.

To create methodologies for undergraduate students to carry out scientific research is essential for these to design, write, and present articles, reports, and monographs. This paper is aimed at presenting a practical and methodological guide to help Ecuadorian engineering students carry out their research. A mixed research was done in two stages: first, the guide was structured and elaborated; and second, it was used by students majoring in four engineering branches at three universities, and the results obtained were assessed. The guide itself has ten stages, including continuous feedback which facilitates the monitoring of students’ scientific output even since they are freshmen. A sample of 641 students majoring in two engineering branches was surveyed over five semesters. They wrote 94 scientific articles.

Keywords : methodological design; scientific research; university.
