However, all topics, especiallyfundamental ones are important in an engineering education because engineers are facingincreasingly complex challenges and opportunities; consequently, collaboration betweenengineers of multiple disciplines becomes very important.

Whileperceptions tend to be positive, the change in learning levels varies from no effect toimprovement. In this regard, it is essential to consider the impact of various factors, includingstudent education levels (secondary, undergraduate, postgraduate), the number of studentsinvolved (a small group or a large course), and the design and appropriateness of the material(s),among others. Consequently, the results largely depend on the particularities of each situation.MethodologyThe methodology applied
