In addition to theING2030 course, mobility between UC and UTFSM was piloted in other course during thesecond semester of 2015, so students from UTFSM would be capable of taking UC courses likeING2030 in the future periods, and vice versa. Therefore, the real challenge is to let studentsknow that they are the most important participants of a big educational change.

Using information provided by respondents, we investigated how views differ based on level of experience or knowledge associated with I&E as part of engineering education? 2. What role does the community think I&E should have as part of undergraduate engineering education?
