Felicito al grupo de colegas que ha publicado en la revista Engineering Studies el paper “Critical Thinking and Judgment on Engineer’s Work: Its Integration in Engineering Education” que inaugura un problema poco (prácticamente nada) tratado en las disciplinas tecnológicas: el “buen juicio” que articula el conocimiento con las soluciones bajo una serie de restricciones dadas.

Los autores del trabajo son: Héctor Gustavo Giuliano, Leandro Ariel Giri, Fernando Gabriel Nicchi, Walter Mario Weyerstall, Lydia Fabiana Ferreira Aicardi, Martín Parselis, y Federico Vasen.

Abstract

In the present work we develop some core ideas to strengthen the inclusion of humanistic knowledge in scientific and technical education sustained in the mainstream definition of engineering provided by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). In order to achieve such a goal we developed a novel formal definition of the term ‘judgment’ to enlighten the conceptual links between technical rationality and critical thinking in the context of the engineering profession. The analysis intends to overcome some obstacles still present when integrating humanities in engineering training rather than including them as a mere afterthought.
