“…Other authors indicate engineers as people "finding the answers to the challenges that confront society" (Try Engineering, 2015), "problem solvers" (Pawley, 2009), and people who "work in almost every area that affect people" (The Royal Academy of Engineering, 2018). In a broad sense, each of these definitions encompasses some of the discourses on which engineering is commonly understood (Pawley, 2009;Stevens et al, 2015). Some of these discourses, widely studied in the last 20 years, include "knowing how to transfer and translate scientific knowledge into practical applications" (Monteiro et al, 2018) and "a desire to help" (Riley, 2008), among others.…”

“…However, this engineering perspective has remained anchored in time and has generated some detractors (El-Zein and Hedemann, 2016) since the common good is ignored with this short-term vision. Moreover, Pawley (2009) criticizes that engineers believe they can "pick" problems already constructed, and the solutions to these problems are engineering practices without any relation to society. Finally, this kind of engineering practice tends to "break" the problem into pieces, even when it is proven that a holistic approach always has better problem-solving results (Midgley, 1992b).…”

IntroductionEngineering professors involved in community projects strive to enhance engagement through a combination of social sciences and engineering methodologies. Recognizing the growing importance of critical methodologies, particularly those rooted in social justice and community design, researchers have explored their impact on fostering meaningful collaborations between engineers, students, and community partners.MethodsThis study employs a phenomenographic approach to explore how a cohort of engineering professors, students, and community members conceptualize their participation in community-engaged practices.ResultsOur findings reveal a nuanced outcome space comprising five distinct ways in which individuals perceive their community engagement: as interdisciplinary endeavors, addressing community issues, engaging in co-design, and addressing systemic barriers. These conceptual frameworks elucidate a progression in the depth of engineers’ involvement with the community, underscoring the significance of systems literacy and social justice in more intricate contexts.DiscussionThese results advocate for engineers to adopt an active membership approach, emphasizing collaboration, when working on engineering projects within communities, as opposed to adopting passive roles that may undermine the impact of community engagement.ConclusionIn conclusion, a deeper understanding of the varied conceptualizations of community engagement among engineering professors, students, and community members underscores the importance of adopting proactive roles and fostering collaborative approaches in community projects.

Engineering is considered a discipline that favors the practical application of theory at the level of technoscience through interaction with other areas of knowledge. It is expected to transform the living conditions of society by providing solutions to complex problems that affect it. However, depending on the approach, this discipline can be used to dominate social sectors by controlling resources, means of production, and knowledge or to empower communities from a critical transformative perspective. Based on a series of educational and professional practice scenarios in Colombia, this article presents a review of some alternatives for a conscious praxis that encourages the development of a culture of peace. This practice is referred to as Engaged Engineering. Subsequently, we briefly explore the existing networks and articulations at the national level, and then, through a literature review, we describe and classify various EE initiatives in Colombia by institution, region, theme, and category. Finally, we present a discussion and some conclusions aimed at developing a preliminary understanding of how EE has materialized in the country and defining its main challenges and opportunities.

“…Uma vez organizados coletivamente é possível definir estratégias de certificação, conforme a extensa legislação preconiza, com selos que identifiquem um determinado território, refletindo suas características e patrimônio cultural. Dentro deste contexto, inserese a ecoinovação como instrumento para a agregação de valor (BERTHET et al, 2016;EL BILALI, 2019;IYABANO et al, 2021;PEÑA-TORRES;REINA-ROZO, 2022;ISSBERNER;BRAGA, 2021) Agricultores familiares, agroecológicos, cujos produtos estejam certificados com garantia de qualidade, adeptos a práticas ecoinovativas e sociais, possuem maior possibilidade de acesso aos canais de comercialização, seja por meio de feiras, fornecimento de cestas, organização de comunidades que sustentam a agricultura (CSA -Community Supported Agriculture) bem como a programas institucionais como o Programa de Aquisição de Alimentos (PAA -substituído pelo Programa Alimente Brasil) e Programa Nacional de Alimentação Escolar (PNAE ) Desta forma, apresenta-se o objetivo que consiste em discutir a inserção de produtos agroecológicos nos canais de comercialização atrelando princípios da ecoinovação à produção e certificação de itens advindos da agricultura familiar. A justificativa para a posse de ferramental ecoinovativo, por parte da agroecologia, notadamente quanto à agregação de valor e acesso aos mercados com maior competitividade, baseia-se nos princípios da própria agroecologia que incentiva à autonomia dos agricultores no mercado e a consequente valorização da agrobiodiversidade.…”

Com o objetivo de discutir a inserção de produtos agroecológicos nos canais de comercialização, o presente artigo atrela princípios da ecoinovação à produção e certificação de produtos e processos advindos da agricultura familiar. Apresenta uma nova territorialidade, onde formam-se redes de agricultores e, por meio de organização social, há a certificação por pares e consequente uso de selos, atestando a qualidade do que é vendido. Debate-se, neste interim, agroecologia, sistemas participativos de certificação, ecoinovação, inovação social, redes, mercados e canais de comercialização. Metodologicamente, trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa de cunho teórico que busca a reflexão crítica sobre a temática. Os resultados apontam para a crescente problematização das formas de apropriação, por diversos atores sociais, dos saberes agroecológicos pela racionalidade instrumental (tecnocientífica) e econômica, condicionando a autonomia e criatividade do sistema socioprodutivo local àquelas lógicas. Por outro lado, a constituição de redes alternativas para vendas conjuntas, seja com apropriação de novas tecnologias - como aplicativos e/ou websites, implica, sobremaneira, em mudança de paradigmas não apenas da agroecologia, mas também por parte dos consumidores que aderem a um novo comportamento social.
