In engineering we often speak of development and now of sustainability. Far toooften it seems that the model used in engineering in general and in

Course content andclassroom activities are divided into three, two-hour sessions (Modeling, Concepts, andLaboratory) per week. Students have six different EI-100 facilitators (an instructor and teachingassistant for each session). UDLAP’s engineering students have in EI-100 a great opportunity fora multidisciplinary collaborative experience. EI-100 is a team-taught course that uses active,collaborative and cooperative learning, which has been a major player in UDLAP’s efforts ofengineering education reform since 2001. However, EI-100 could be improved taking intoaccount technological advances and recent
