Development of engineering skills in students of biotechnology: Innovation project “From laboratory to industry”
Professors of Chemical Engineering often find that students are discouraged by the highly technical nature of the subject, have a poor understanding of how the subject relates to their field and lack the basic engineering skills and competences. This purpose of this paper is to report on a teaching innovation experience in the course in Biochemical Engineering, part of the Degree in Biotechnology at the Universidad Francisco de Vitoria (Madrid, Spain). The aim of the innovation project was to motivate students and overcome the difficulties posed by the course. To this end, a series of practical seminars were designed with individual and group learning activities, for the acquisition of engineering competences, developing higher-order thinking skills and transversal competences. The evaluation of the project was based on the learning-teaching experience of professors, the academic performance of students and student surveys at the end of the course. All indicators showed that the new methodology had a positive impact both on the attitudes of students and on learning outcomes. Furthermore, students had a more precise and positive vision of the interrelation between Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology in general, favourably influencing their learning in other courses within the degree program.
期刊介绍:
Education for Chemical Engineers was launched in 2006 with a remit to publisheducation research papers, resource reviews and teaching and learning notes. ECE is targeted at chemical engineering academics and educators, discussing the ongoingchanges and development in chemical engineering education. This international title publishes papers from around the world, creating a global network of chemical engineering academics. Papers demonstrating how educational research results can be applied to chemical engineering education are particularly welcome, as are the accounts of research work that brings new perspectives to established principles, highlighting unsolved problems or indicating direction for future research relevant to chemical engineering education. Core topic areas: -Assessment- Accreditation- Curriculum development and transformation- Design- Diversity- Distance education-- E-learning Entrepreneurship programs- Industry-academic linkages- Benchmarking- Lifelong learning- Multidisciplinary programs- Outreach from kindergarten to high school programs- Student recruitment and retention and transition programs- New technology- Problem-based learning- Social responsibility and professionalism- Teamwork- Web-based learning
