A inicios del mes de mayo, se realizó la 4th International Conference on Recent Advancements in Interdisciplinary Research. Organizada por la City University (Malasia), y dada la contingencia sanitaria mundial realizada de forma online, reunió académicos e investigadores de diferentes partes del mundo para mostrar los últimos avances y soluciones técnicas en áreas multidisciplinarias.

La investigación, en el área de Innovación y Educación en Ingeniería, denominada "A proposal of an instrument to evaluate innovation characteristics for engineering students" forma parte de un proyecto interdisciplinario donde participan el académico Felipe Muñoz La Rivera y Jean Delgadillo (Escuela de Ingeniería Civil PUCV), la académica Pamela Hermosilla (Escuela de Ingeniería Informática PUCV); junto a Dayán Echeverría, César Cofré y Flavia Perazzo (Maker space PUCV).

El resumen de la investigación detalla: "The current industry demands from graduate engineers a wide range of characteristics in the area of innovation, which responds to the new and growing needs of the market, which today are migrating towards the development of an automated and virtualized industry. This research identifies the characteristics in the area of innovation that professional engineers should possess to the holder, and therefore, those characteristics they should develop during their training at universities. However, there is little evidence on how to evaluate if these are trained in the university. This research proposes instruments to evaluate the characteristics of innovation in engineering students, providing simple and supported tools to achieve this successfully".

El Proyecto es financiado por el Programa DOC-INNOVA de CORFO - Ingeniería 2030 PUCV. Este además se encuentra patrocinado por el Collaborative Group of Engineering Educación (CGEE) de la PUCV.
