Abstract:

During the last academic years, the industrial electronics specialties of the Industrial Engineering Bachelor's Degrees of the Public University of Navarra (UPNA) suffered a gradual loss of students. In order to reverse this trend, a teaching innovation project was designed based on the planned use of active learning methodologies in collaboration with Navarra's leading companies in industrial electronics. The project aims to enhance student learning by making teaching more engaging and practical, as well as boost the social visibility of electronics by improving the perception among students of this strategic industrial sector in the region of Navarra.

I. Introduction

Industrial Engineering is a fundamental discipline in the modern technological world as it is essential in the optimization of production and logistics processes, in the management of the industrial supply chain, and especially in the implementation of new technologies such as artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things (IoT) or additive manufacturing. Navarra is one of the most industrialized regions of Spain in strategic sectors such as automotive, renewable energies, food, and environmental management. In 2022, the industrial sector of Navarra contributed 31% of its value to the community's GDP, 10% above the national average, employing 72,000 people and with several companies around 3,300 [1]. In modern society, the role of Industrial engineers is outstanding in the economic and social progress. Nowadays, there is a high demand for Industrial Engineers specializing in Electronics in Navarra's companies in sectors such as the automotive industry, renewable energies, electronic design, vending, etc. In this context, the specialty of Industrial Electronics is critical, as it trains the new engineers who will have to face this process of technological management in new Industria 4.0. The industrial electronics companies in Navarra are well-established and have an annual demand for new engineers that exceeds the number of graduates available. In addition, Industrial Engineering is still perceived through a traditional vision and is far from the new paradigms required by modern society.
