abstract
- Education has responded to industrial demands, to new technological developments and capacities required for the application of concepts to generate models that describe reality. Traditional educational models where the student acts as a recipient of knowledge have been surpassed by the demands of the new automated and connected industrial currents. These educational currents, despite taking advantage of information resources, active learning techniques and team collaboration, are limited by other aspects that hinder their dissemination. Thus, the role of the educator, spaces required, teamwork and available resources must be combined in order to follow the pace of technology adoption and thus cover the new educational paradigms. This article explores an educational model based on challenges that has been implemented with researchers, lecturers, and university students. This model has had a positive impact on the participants in project development and entrepreneurship skills. © IFIP International Federation for Information Processing 2024.
