CHEMICAL ENGINEERING IN THE INFORMATION AGE: IMPACT OF NEW PEDAGOGICAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL RESOURCES TO TRAIN TRANSFERABLE SKILLS

This project aims to promote the use of pedagogical and technological resources helping to train transferable skills in the area of Chemical Engineering, applying active teaching-learning methodologies and multimedia resources available in the Information Age. Specifically, this work shows results from the application of several pedagogical and technological resources aimed to boost transferable skills such as cooperative learning, problem-based-learning (PBL), and flipped classroom. The Apps Socrative and Kahoot were used in the lessons of the subjects Environment and Sustainability of the Chemical Engineering Degree, Pollution Control Technologies of the Environmental Sciences Degree, Environment and Sustainability of the Industrial Electronic Engineering Degree, General Services and Auxiliary Systems of the Degree in Chemical Engineering, and Environmental Biotechnology Processes Engineering of the Biotechnology Degree. Instagram App was used in the subject Water Treatment Technologies of the Chemical Engineering Degree and Environment and Sustainability of the Degree in Industrial Electronic Engineering.
