Integration of Various Active Methodologies in the Training of Industrial Engineers in Master's Degree: Results and Reflections

Abstract

[EN] In the industrial engineering education field, the implementation of active methodologies is a key strategy to improve student learning and participation. This manuscript presents an educational experience developed in a second-year specialisation course in a master's degree in industrial engineering, where different active methodologies have been used to promote deeper and more meaningful learning. During the development of the subject, methods such as the case method, debate, presentations by students, visits to companies, attendance of experts in the classroom and the simulation of participation in a congress have been used. These methodologies have not only allowed students to apply theoretical knowledge in practical contexts, but have also promoted essential skills such as critical thinking, effective communication and teamwork.
