Abstract

Universities have been working in the last decades on the development of competencies of their students, for this reason educational innovation are under strong demand by faculty to achieve this goal. Challenge-based learning integrates elements of problem-based learning, project-based learning and a focus on addressing real industry problems in collaboration model between different stakeholder. This research shares the case study of the educational model of a private higher education institution with national presence in Mexico, which among other elements uses challenge-based learning and a strong linkage with industry with a greater role as a formative partner for students in engineering programs. The study shares the learnings related with the linkage process, form the perspectives of the formative partner and the students, the results of challenges applied in the industrial engineering program in its second and third year of specialization. Aligning the challenge to academic interests as well as the interests of industry with its current problems is a challenge to overcome, which is solved when both entities are aligned in the search for the development of general education and disciplinary competencies in students, which in the end will benefit future professionals with the skills, values and knowledge to go beyond facing the world to create the world we all want to transform their business and help each other as a community.
