We have tested a constructivist, technology-supported collaborative strategy in engineering courses that is aimed at supporting the teaching of regular subject matter as well as fostering the development of students' communication and social skills. In this strategy, students communicate face-to-face through a social network while supporting their work with handhelds interconnected through a wireless network. Information transfers from the social network to the handheld network and vice versa, meaning that collaborators maintain face-to-face interaction at all times while also being able to obtain and retrieve information. To implement this strategy, a technology tool named CollPad was created and applied in two computer science courses. The qualitative results of the experience show that students found the tool effective in creating an environment that promotes communication, interpersonal and decision-making skills.This work was partially funded by a grant from the School of Engineering of the Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile, and by CONICYT-FONDECYT 1060712, 1080100 and CONICYT-FONDEF D04T2036.2FONDEFcjalvare@ing.puc.cl; mn@ing.puc.clSchool of Engineering of the Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile; CONICYT-FONDECYT [1060712, 1080100]; CONICYT-FONDEF [D04T2036]4FONDEF250D04T2036WOS:000269325200005WOS:0002693252000050949-149Xhttps://hdl.handle.net/10533/197732TEMPUS PUBLICATIONSinstname: Conicytreponame: Repositorio Digital RI2.0instname: Conicytreponame: Repositorio Digital RI2.00info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/Fondef/D04T2036info:eu-repo/semantics/dataset/hdl.handle.net/10533/93477info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessTeaching communication, interpersonal and decision-making skills in engineering courses supported by technologyINTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENGINEERING EDUCATIONInt.

description Communication, interpersonal and decision-making skills are essential for engineering work and should be explicitly incorporated in engineering curricula. We have tested a constructivist, technology-supported collaborative strategy in engineering courses that is aimed at supporting the teaching of regular subject matter as well as fostering the development of students' communication and social skills.
