Selection Of

Sexism and gender relations in higher education require special attention and are a topic of great interest in regulations related to education. The low participation percentage of women in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) studies has been identified as one of the main problems that must be resolved in order to close the gender gap that exists in the technology sector. The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of professional competences on the selection of university studies according to the absence or presence of masculinization factors in those studies. Mechanical engineering competences, both generic and transversal, and competence acquisition methods, are classified into ‘care’ (feminine) or ‘provisions’ (masculine) concepts. After the competence analysis, it can be concluded that explicit engineering curricula are focused on “provisions”, which translates into a cultural perception of industrial engineering as a male profession. After a professional competence analysis in engineering studies at The University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU), our study identified a relationship between the masculinization factors included in professional competences and the selection of university studies. This paper presents working actions towards the incorporation of a gender perspective into the degree in mechanical engineering at the UPV/EHU.

The Subject

The purpose of the article is to put forward English monologue production assessment criteria to verify the efficiency of the devised methodology of teaching English for future mechanical engineers. In the course of the research, theoretical, empirical, and statistical methods have been used. Various approaches to identifying the assessment criteria have been thoroughly analyzed. Seven criteria to assess the monologue production skills, five primary and two secondary ones, have been suggested. The allocation of the points by every criterion according to the devised scales have been elucidated. The proposed assessment criteria were used in the methodological experiment that was held at Igor Sikorsky Kyiv National Technical University. The experiment in question aimed to verify the efficiency of the devised methodology of teaching English monologue production to students majoring in mechanical engineering. Three experimental groups, 34 students in total, studying in their final year of Bachelor studies within the Subject Areas of Applied Mechanics and Industrial Engineering, participated in the methodological experiment. The conducted experiment confirmed the efficiency of the methodology proposed.

El principal objetivo de este trabajo ha sido la virtualización de diferentes asignaturas del departamento de Expresión Gráfica de la Escuela de Ingenierías Industriales, entre las que se encuentran: Instalaciones Industriales y Comerciales II, Aplicaciones Informáticas para la Ingeniería e Ingeniería Gráfica. Las dos primeras se imparten en todos los Grados de Ingeniería de la Rama Industrial y la tercera, en el Grado de Ingeniería Mecánica y como asignatura optativa en el Grado de Ingeniería Electrónica y Automática. Para ello se han utilizado herramientas como OBS Studio, Zoom, Socrative o Moodle, empleadas para la elaboración de video tutoriales con resolución de problemas, cuestionarios, rúbricas y pruebas de evaluación, etc. La aplicación de las metodologías docentes descritas, así como la virtualización de los contenidos, han contribuido a mejorar y facilitar el aprendizaje por parte de los estudiantes, y han recibido una muy buena valoración y aceptación por parte de los alumnos.AbstractThe main objective of this project has been the virtualization of different subjects of the Department of Graphic Expression of the School of Industrial Engineering, among which are: Industrial and Commercial Installations II, Computer Applications for Engineering and Graphic Engineering. The first two are taught in all Engineering Degrees of the Industrial Branch and the third, in the Mechanical Engineering Degree and as an optional subject in the Electronic and Automatic Engineering Degree. For this, tools such as OBS Studio, Zoom, Socrative or Moodle have been used for the development of video tutorials with problem solving, questionnaires, rubrics and evaluation tests, etc. The application of the teaching methodologies described, as well as the virtualization of the contents, have contributed to improve and facilitate learning by students, and have received a very good evaluation and acceptance by students
