The use of scientific principles in problem solving requires knowledge of different subjects relevant to natural, social, and economic aspects that govern the actions and behaviors of humans. Those who are training to design these solutions need to recognize, understand, manage, and apply the bases related to experimental and project design and identify their actions, as well as the theories and paradigms related to the systemic understanding of complex problems, so that these actions are coherent with the characteristics of the context in which they act and are consistent with the ruptures that require the development of these solutions.
The processes of planning, designing, and evaluating experiments, projects and solutions are covered from an engineering standpoint to create a common view on the problem to be dealt with. This approach requires the development of a scientific approach to build the objects of study and to build consensus and agreements on the problems being worked on, a skill that must be inherent to any student pursuing a career in engineering.
Understanding how to approach the development of projects and/or experiments to solve engineering problems, entails the knowledge and handling of the methodologies used in Science, Technology, Environment, and Math. These topics carry methodological complexity and demand a human formation appropriate for teamwork, group management and the appreciation of the languages used in different fields of knowledge.
