Such spaces and strategies have encouraged rethinkingthe curriculum of the School of Engineering in a way that, when integrated with processes forscientific research in education, may allow significant changes in learning environments andpromote the renovation of the pedagogical strategies.Thus, we propose an approach for designing curriculum for the School of Engineering of EAFITUniversity based on three types of processes: (a) scientific research in education, which allowsthe definition and construction of research and innovation projects that are based on

To encourage andhold the interest of students, much effort has gone into research and development of innovativemethods of teaching.
