Dialogical inclusion in the management competencies: An innovative approach in the training of civil engineers

Abstract

This article focuses on exposing the need to strengthen the training of civil engineers in Colombia, traditionally focused on technical skills, through dialogical inclusion, in order to address current challenges in management competencies. A problem arises related to the lack of management skills and communication competencies, which limits their ability to deal with the increasing complexity of projects and interaction with various stakeholders. The main objective of the study was to explore the impact of dialogical inclusion on the management competencies of engineering students. Methodologically, the study was based on a qualitative approach and adopted a documentary research design where relevant literature on dialogical inclusion and its meaning in training was collected. The analysis period covers the present. The population of interest was civil engineering students in Colombia. The results indicate that dialogical inclusion plays a crucial role in the development of management skills and communicative competence.
