Abstract :The process of education of engineering students still shows several weak points. One important shortcoming
relates to the application and transfer of basic sciences contents to professional and ordinary life situations.
Among other causes, this is the result of a fragmented and de contextualized approach that fails to illustrate
engineer students the connection between scientific knowledge and disciplines to professional problems. The
authors surveyed professors to evaluate the management of didactic issues in the teaching-learning process of
engineering majors. They used documentary analysis and literature review to build a theoretical framework; the
authors provide a framework that provides the basis for leading the teaching and learning of basic sciences to
engineer students from a communicative and contextualized approach. |
