in Industrial Engineering and Operations management contextbecause there are several areas of study, such as knowledge management, ergonomics, anddigital transformation. Hence, engineering students can choose the path they will followbased on the competences and courses available. In addition, access to disciplines related tocompetences is facilitated through the website. Therefore, engineering students can accessinformation and analyze the subjects most suitable for their development.Co-opsThe analyzed university has a Cooperative Education (Co-op) program. This programsupports the development of soft skills in engineering students. The main goal of the Co-opprogram is to bring students closer to industry. For Industrial Engineering

Without the commitment of the administration to integrated instruction inprofessional skills, efforts will remain little more than additional instruction tacked onto aprimarily technical curriculum. Truly integrating professional skills in the curricula requires theentire faculty’s collaboration. 13 References1. Merry, P. (2016). Changing education: Why we need more focus on ‘soft’ skills.

System [12].Purpose of the studyEducation model of Tecnologico de Monterrey is a competencies-based framework, in whichstudents are expected to fulfill three dimensions to consider that the competencies has beenacquired: • Knowledge: Concepts, theory, and methodologies. • Applications: Real life and simulated situations in which knowledge can be applied. • Values and attitudes: Soft skills required for applying knowledge.The purpose of this study is to measure what is the impact in students’ development whenimplementing Guided Learning Sequences as a content delivery strategy to learn Measure Phasein LSS. The study is particularly focused in the analysis of a specific skill: understandingcollected data to generate scenarios that

There was an evaluator that graded the students onExecution

Enterprises (SMEs) trying to compete againsthuge companies. The necessity of having Industrial and Systems Engineers (ISE) withboth technical and soft skills to improve an organization’s performance is crucial. Mexiconot only has to make changes to avoid being left behind due to the low-cost workforce thatother countries have, but it also has to offer diversity in products and services to increaseits competitive advantage [2].Every day, companies increase their need to hire graduates with a greater capacity forcomplex problem-solving. For such reason, universities have been using active learningtechniques such as Problem-Based Learning (PrBL), Project-Based Learning (PBL), andChallenge-Based Learning (CBL), which have helped students to play an

graduates toaddress the so-called real-world wicked problems. Further, the job market is rapidly changing torequire that the graduates preparing to enter the market be equipped with not only technical butalso soft skills for them to be competitive in the market. Studies have shown that 62.3% ofgraduates with technical degrees lack employment because of a deficit of employability skills [6].Complex real-world problems require employability skills or transferable skills. Employabilityskills include the ability to “solve complex multidisciplinary problems, work successfully in teams,communicate effectively, practice good interpersonal skills [7], and approach problems with anentrepreneurial mindset [8]. This requires graduates to develop an
