Abstract
This paper presents the results of two surveys focused on the interests and needs of academic training related to the different pedagogical and technological aspects that influence the training of engineers in the engineering faculties of Chilean universities, seeking to improve the quality of the academic training and teaching-learning process. The first research was organized in the frame of the “Pedagogy in Engineering in Chilean Universities” project, led by the Technische Universität Dresden (TUD) of Germany, and consisting of a group of academics from engineering faculties of three Chilean universities: Universidad Autónoma de Chile (UA), Universidad de Magallanes (UMAG) and Universidad de Talca (UTAL). The objective of the project is the development of tools to determine the training needs of trainers of engineers in the pedagogical field. The second research led by TU Dresden in cooperation with the Universidad de Santiago de Chile (USACH) is oriented to the development and testing of training modules for students and teaching qualifications of teaching staff in academic engineering education. Methodologically, two instruments were developed for the needs assessment, based on specific theoretical concepts of the engineering training as well as the experience in research projects of the TUD in this area. Booth projects are financially supported through of German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD).
