Track: Global Engineering Education*

Abstract

More than a year after the changes established in higher education in Mexico in terms of the way of teaching and learning, which arise from the spread of the COVID-19 virus throughout the world, it is necessary to evaluate students and teachers on their adaptation to change, to monitor their ability to adapt to the challenges presented by the non-school modality. In this case, for the practical subjects of the Design and Manufacturing branch of the specialty area of the Industrial Engineering Administrator educational program, since some of these require a physical space and student-facilitator interaction, for example, man-machine and man-tool. A measurement instrument was designed which allowed us to know the level of adaptability of students and teachers in the practical learning units, results were obtained indicating the main challenges of both interest groups, analyzing the results, proposing recommendations and suggestions to improve the teaching, and learning process. The results are presented while the return to face-to-face classes is normalized. Considering that people's health and well-being is the most important thing, the use of interactive software was proposed for these practical subjects, it could be the use of immersive videos, video games and / or augmented reality programs.
