There have also been efforts in academia andindustry, in collaboration with organizations like EWB, to define a global engineer, whoacknowledges that his or her expertise is critical to sustainable development efforts and who“takes into account socioeconomic realities and

This requires that theteacher has certain strengths, abilities and methodologic preferences. On the other side, notbeing a traditional educational approach, students are not familiar with these dynamics whichcan generate uncertainty on the process. Furthermore, for a learning method to work, it must beappropriated by the students and it must be suitable on the topic that is being thought; CBL canbe very effective for certain students or areas, but possibly not for everybody, nor for a wholeuniversity career [5].This means that the process must be mediated from a co-creation perspective where thecommunity has an active role
