Abstract:
The development of technology has forced us to change many different aspects of our lives, including the learning process. The fundamental objective of the Universities was to deliver the knowledge to the students, but nowadays, the availability of knowledge is greater with the new digital technologies. The new Tec21 Educational Model establishes the Challenge Based Learning (CBL) as one the main pillars of its development. Here we report on the use of Factory Learning as part of the CBL process. The Factory Learning methodology focuses on developing different skills and abilities in the student, giving them a challenge to solve. The teacher in this methodology is a mentor that leads the student to develop the skills as he acquires knowledge.Keywords:
