description Engineering, understood as the gathering of scientific and technological knowledge for innovation, creation, advancement and optimization of techniques, as well as a set of useful tools to meet social needs and solve technical problems of both individuals and the community, makes its main actors, engineers, key players in sustainable development and in the creation of alternatives that minimize the negative effects of technology on society. It is in this sense that technology assessment approaches should take importance among those who manage technology development and implementation policies. Generally, the undesirable effects of the intrusion of a new technology are acted upon when they already occur, and technology assessment is intended to anticipate the risk. This paper presents a bibliographic review of technology assessment, its approaches and future study needs. Based on an articulating axis that positions technological change and innovation as an imperative need for social development, an exhaustive review of related articles in specialized databases was carried out. The most important results of this work reveal that the field of technological assessment has been strongly inclined towards the health or sanitary sector; however, research is being developed in central engineering topics such as the development of nanotechnology, robotics, and the handling of big data, where the European model stands out as a reference for technological assessment processes due to its inclusive and democratic nature.

This paper presents a bibliographic review of technology assessment, its approaches and future study needs.

La ingeniería, entendida como la reunión de conocimientos científicos y tecnológicos para la innovación, creación, avance y optimización de técnicas, así como un conjunto de herramientas útiles para suplir las necesidades sociales y resolver problemas técnicos tanto de las personas como de la comunidad, hace a sus principales actores, los ingenieros, piezas clave en el desarrollo sostenible y en la creación de alternativas que minimicen los efectos negativos de la tecnología sobre la sociedad. Es en este sentido que enfoques de evaluación de la tecnología deben tomar importancia entre aquellos que gestionan el desarrollo tecnológico y las políticas de implementación. Generalmente, se actúa frente a los efectos indeseables de la intrusión de una nueva tecnología cuando estos ya ocurren, desde la evaluación tecnológica se pretende anticipar el riesgo. En este documento se presenta una revisión bibliográfica de la evaluación de la tecnología, sus enfoques y necesidades de estudio futuro. A partir de un eje articulador que posiciona el cambio tecnológico y la innovación como una necesidad imperativa para el desarrollo social, se llevó a cabo una revisión exhaustiva de artículos relacionados en bases de datos especializadas. Los resultados más importantes de este trabajo revelan que el campo de la evaluación tecnológica se ha inclinado fuertemente hacia el sector de la salud o sanitario, sin embargo, se desarrollan investigaciones en temas centrales de la ingeniería como el desarrollo de la nanotecnología, la robótica, el manejo de grandes datos donde se destaca el modelo europeo como referente para llevar procesos de evaluación tecnológica por su naturaleza incluyente y democrática.  Universidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombia 2021-01-01 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf application/xml https://revistas.uptc.edu.co/index.php/ingenieria/article/view/12459 10.19053/01211129.v30.n55.2021.12459 Revista Facultad de Ingeniería; Vol. 30 No. 55 (2021): January-March 2021 (Continuous Publication); e12459 Revista Facultad de Ingeniería; Vol. 30 Núm. 55 (2021): Enero-Marzo 2021 (Publicación Continua); e12459 2357-5328 0121-1129 spa https://revistas.uptc.edu.co/index.php/ingenieria/article/view/12459/10232 https://revistas.uptc.edu.co/index.php/ingenieria/article/view/12459/10784 Copyright (c) 2021 Óscar-Iván Rodríguez-Cardoso; Vladimir-Alfonso Ballesteros-Ballesteros; Manuel-Francisco Romero-Ospina
