Undergraduate programs face the permanent challenge of constantly transforming to keep an up-to-date curriculum according to globalization and internationalization processes. In the case of civil engineers, professional training should respond to the needs of the Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Operation (AECO) industry. In this context, Building Information Modelling (BIM) constitutes a process involving shared digital representations of built assets to facilitate design, construction, and operations processes within the industry to form a reliable base for decision-making. The present research develops a methodology and a proposal to embed BIM in an undergraduate civil engineering competency-based curriculum. Mixed method research was applied with a descriptive approach and a concurrent design. The results show that it is possible to implement a curricular design to embed BIM transversally. The study concludes that this design was embraced by the AECO industry, as the number of students, the number of employed graduates, and institutional national and international agreements have positively increased from 2017, at the launch of the program, to 2022.
Esta investigación buscaba conocer el estado actual del proceso artesanal de producción de hilo de fibra de alpaca, de la región de Puno en el Perú. Por tal motivo, se realizó un estudio con una perspectiva de alcance descriptivo y exploratorio, teniendo como unidad de análisis a los alpaqueros, artesanos, productores medianos y algunos directivos del sector textil. Se diseñó una investigación documental para obtener datos cualitativos y cuantitativos sobre la producción del hilado de alpaca. En el 2019 se hizo la investigación de campo para recolectar los datos directamente de las comunidades alpaqueras, obteniendo información sobre los métodos del proceso de producción de hilos de fibra de alpaca. Se concluyó que la fabricación artesanal de hilo de alpaca mantiene, principalmente, un proceso manual, sin embargo, se han incorporado pequeñas máquinas como la abridora y la de hilatura, compuestas de dispositivos mecánicos simples, con la finalidad de reducir el tiempo de producción de la fibra y mejorar la calidad del hilo obtenido.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
