- © 2022 IEEE.University education is facing a challenge, companies have evolved in several ways, students are now multi-skills, giving rise to an ecosystem-based on learning rather than knowledge abundance. This research presents the development and implementation of an immersive educational model, placing students at the center of the teaching-learning process, where the relationship with companies is of the utmost importance and they serve as educational partners. The purpose of this model linked to an educational partner is to bring students to a learning environment so that they can develop naturally the academic competencies of the course, particularly, industrial engineering competencies. From the comparison of two industrial engineering courses with different educational models where one is linked to an educational partner and the other to the use of an academic simulator, the implementation of a challenge is proposed which is an area of opportunity for improvement of the related company, so that the teaching-learning process flows around said challenge and thus observe the development of competencies. The purpose is to offer an improvement in the environment of the teaching-learning process by linking with companies and thereby increasing the academic performance of students by developing their disciplinary skills based on a real context.
