This article presents the measurement, and evaluation carried out on the student outcomes, “Environment and Sustainability” (Student outcome H), and “Project Management” (Student outcome L), from the Formulation and Evaluation of Projects subject that belongs to the Curriculum of the Chemical Engineering Program at the National University of San Antonio Abad of Cusco (UNSAAC) during the academic semesters 2020–I and 2020–II. The student outcomes, “Environment and Sustainability”, and “Project Management” that have three criteria, and two criteria respectively, were measured in a collaborative work called “capstone project”. In the 2020–I semester, all the student outcomes were achieved with the exception of the criterion H-3 (It proposes what kind of technologies could be applied in order to mitigate environmental impacts generated for industrial processes, considering a sustainable development approach). In the 2020–II semester, all the student outcomes were achieved with the exception of the criterion H-2 (It evaluates the environmental impacts that are generated by the industrial project considering environmental standards). In order to improve the performance of the student outcome “Environment and Sustainability”, methodologies related with environmental standards, and environmental management were proposed in order to be applied in the curricula of the Chemical Engineering Program. On the other hand, the student outcome “Project Management” was applied in the capstone project adequately; it was the first time that this topic was implemented in the subject; however, the application of the ten knowledges of project management, according to PMBOK, was well fixed, and the student outcome was overcome in both semesters.

Universities had to scramble to arrange and redesign their teaching strategies due to the pandemic caused by the COVID-19 outbreak during the first semester of 2020. A sudden shift occurred from on-site to remote teaching, accompanied by a change in students learning habits. Such changes were committed to accomplishing the expected outcomes and competencies for the courses in progress. Higher education practitioners deemed it necessary to assess the validity and reliability of the newly applied teaching and evaluation approaches to ascertain the extent of fulfillment of students' achievement. This study uses the analysis of variance (ANOVA) for assessing expectation fulfillment and outcomes of online teaching during the 2020 lockdown. This work compares the outcomes between remote learning during the confinement period and the previous semesters amidst on-site teaching. The results draw on the instructor performance under the lockdown redesigned environment and the students' perceptions of their learning outcomes. The procedure has been applied to the subjects Simulation (SIM), Applied Statistics (EDA) taught at the Faculty of Engineering of the Universidad de Piura (UDEP, Peru), and Strength of materials (RdM), imparted at the ETSI Caminos, Canales y Puertos of the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM, Spain). The findings show the impact on some students' expectancies by the change to remote teaching and some improvement opportunities for future online teaching scenarios.

Teaching-learning in civil engineering research courses is a challenge and even more in the current context of the Covid 19 pandemic, taking into account that laboratories and field works are not available. Nevertheless, it is also an opportunity to optimize the use of didactic and technological resources that enable the students to use approaches to study different kinds of engineering problems as well as contributing to their development as researchers. This study allowed to collect, through a validated questionnaire, the perception of 148 students who were in the last year in the Civil Engineering career at the Universidad Privada del Norte, and the results revealed that 61% of them were “in agreement” with the usefulness of numerical modelling techniques as a teaching resource for research.
