Abstract
This research work presents an experience of the Faculty of Engineering of Mondragon Unibertsitatea using Project Based Learning (PBL) with the students of 4th semester of Bachelor's Degree in Industrial Organization Engineering (IOE). The PBL delved into the concepts developed in the subjects of Management Systems and Production Logistics. The project was contextualized in a company that produced parts for the automotive sector. Teams of students implemented a management system that enabled the efficient management of materials and the production process using tools such as Demand Driven MRP (DDRMP). As a result, they had to solve the proposed problem, develop a simulation and choose the proposal that best met the needs of the company. In order to assess PBL performance a survey was carried out. The results confirmed that the experience was positive since the achieved knowledge provided a meaningful learning experience for the students, while facilitating the development of both technical and transversal competences.
Highlights
The current paradigm that surrounds us is increasingly dynamic and volatile, requiring the ability to predict future trends and adapt to them
Educational institutions should take into account the following three aspects to facilitate the transition to new models: First, it should be assumed that the formal environment will not always be the main source of knowledge
The present work describes and analyzes how the Faculty of Engineering of Mondragon Unibertsitatea (MGEP), with the teaching-learning model based on projects, trains the students of the Bachelors Degree of Industrial Organization Engineering (IOE) so that they can satisfy the future demands of this new paradigm
Summary
The current paradigm that surrounds us is increasingly dynamic and volatile, requiring the ability to predict future trends and adapt to them. Great efforts are needed to adapt and deal with this complex and volatile environment (Castells, 1996) In view of this situation, nobody disputes the need to support students in the acquisition of new competences for their proper insertion into the world of work, as the working environment has new requirements as well (EUROPEIA, 2014). The efficient performance of any profession needs the ability to solve increasingly complex tasks and the linkage of education with the professional career is becoming more and more necessary (Gallo-Martinez et al, 2015). In this regard, education requires new teaching-learning models that fulfil the demand of this new paradigm. The present work describes and analyzes how the Faculty of Engineering of Mondragon Unibertsitatea (MGEP), with the teaching-learning model based on projects, trains the students of the Bachelors Degree of Industrial Organization Engineering (IOE) so that they can satisfy the future demands of this new paradigm
