During the past years a great deal of ideas, concepts, strategies, methodologies have been invading the field of engineering education: cooperative learning, problem based learning, active learning, project base learning, hands-on, meaning learning and intensive pedagogies, within many others. The scene gets complicated when the importance for developing engineer competences is emphasized, for which they must be defined, taught and then evaluated. Finally, completing this chaos, it is desirable to introduce information and communication technology. Then, a certain eclectic flavor seems to be invading engineering teaching. This paper presents an example of a course based on the inquiry concept. This approach could be a coherent conceptual frame work that allows the concatenation and selection of different pedagogical strategies. This work proposes a new conceptual framework for learning as a synthesis of two previous models.Downloads
