©American Society for Engineering Education, 2024 Training program in teaching for Engineering for the Americas (EftA)AbstractBeing a professor-engineer in engineering courses is common in universities in LatinAmerica and the Caribbean, so it is likely that pedagogical practices are not the subject ofreflection, since the activity, in most cases, would focus on the contents. Therefore, in thisarticle, we review various pedagogical training proposals for engineers and anticipate ateacher-training program endorsed by LACCEI, an organization focused on collaboration,education, practice, research, and innovation in Engineering and Technology. The issue oftraining is a priority; for example, recently, the recognition of the iPEER

Most meta-analyses of interactive teaching methods, when compared to standard lecture, show increases instudent achievement [6, 7, 8, 9]. Within the engineering literature, interactive learning methodsinclude project based learning [10], open-ended problem based learning [11], lab-based learning[12], among others.
