description | The way in which engineering and sciences are taught is a topic that has been repeatedly and widely discussed in academic, research, industrial and business spheres, among others. The relevance of the person recently graduated from a career in engineering or science and their attitudes according to local needs have sparked debates that end up questioning even the epistemological and philosophical foundations of the type of scientific and technological knowledge that is being taught and generated in contexts of the so-called global south [1]. It is precisely in this direction that several Latin American thinkers have concluded that the positivist epistemological structure, inherited from the West, may not be so appropriate for achieving the social, political, and economic results that generate the necessary transformations in Latin America that promote the reduction of inequality, the expansion of equal opportunities and the mitigation of environmental impacts generated by purely extractive economies, typical of the countries of the so-called third world. |

Rodríguez-Camargo, Christian David peace paz The way in which engineering and sciences are taught is a topic that has been repeatedly and widely discussed in academic, research, industrial and business spheres, among others. The relevance of the person recently graduated from a career in engineering or science and their attitudes according to local needs have sparked debates that end up questioning even the epistemological and philosophical foundations of the type of scientific and technological knowledge that is being taught and generated in contexts of the so-called global south [1]. It is precisely in this direction that several Latin American thinkers have concluded that the positivist epistemological structure, inherited from the West, may not be so appropriate for achieving the social, political, and economic results that generate the necessary transformations in Latin America that promote the reduction of inequality, the expansion of equal opportunities and the mitigation of environmental impacts generated by purely extractive economies, typical of the countries of the so-called third world. La forma en la que se enseñan las ingenierías y las ciencias es un tema que ha sido discutido de manera recurrente y amplia en esferas académicas, investigativas, industriales y empresariales, entre otras. La pertinencia de la persona recién egresada de una carrera de ingeniería o ciencias y sus actitudes en función de las necesidades locales han suscitado debates que terminan cuestionando hasta los mismos cimientos epistemológicos y filosóficos del tipo del conocimiento científico y tecnológico que está siendo enseñado y generado en contextos del llamado sur global [1]. Es precisamente en esta dirección que varios pensadores latinoamericanos han concluido que la estructura epistemológica positivista, heredada de Occidente, podría no ser tan apropiada para la consecución de los resultados sociales, políticos y económicos que generen las transformaciones necesarias en Latinoamérica, que promuevan la reducción de la desigualdad, la ampliación de la equidad de oportunidades y la mitigación de los impactos ambientales que generan economías puramente extractivas, típicas de los países del mal llamado tercer mundo.
