ComPiTe. Pretensiones de la Innovación

The main innovation of this Educational Innovation Group is the work techniques of transversal competences. These work techniques can be applied to almost any subject taught at the ETSI of Telecommunications of the UMA, as well as being exportable to other centres and even to pre-university areas. All these work strategies also have new formats, which are widely used by students, making them very attractive. The innovative strategy can be summarised in the following points to work on:

• To work on and evaluate the students' ability to transmit information and ideas to a non-specialised audience, through the activity of writing popular science stories, written in Spanish or English, on topics of evolution and history as well as current technical concepts and topics within the themes of each subject (Competences A, B, C, D and E). 
• In the writing of the story, gender equality should be included, as well as values of equality, inclusion, diversity, etc.That the students learn how to popularise science through poster exhibitions and readings of the stories to both specialised and non-specialised audiences. The aim is to disseminate the activity carried out and ensure that both the university community and society as a whole, especially infant and primary school students, can learn new concepts in a simple way (Competences A, B, C and E).
• Launch the podcast activity: "Tell me about engineering", with a dual purpose, to disseminate leading engineering topics, as well as to serve in some cases as a review and reflection on important topics in the subjects (Competences A, B, C and E).
• To continue with the "technological challenge" activity, which has been running for nine editions now, given that it promotes skills and the acquisition of transversal competences. The theme of the challenge, as well as its format, will be adapted to work on equality between men and women, professional ethics and scientific dissemination (Competences B, C, D and E). 
• To promote multidisciplinary work and the motivation of all students involved in the project, as well as in the rest of the university community, encouraging the formation of multidisciplinary groups (Competences C, D and E).
• Carry out cross-evaluations between different groups of students of both the short stories and the podcasts, in order to work on the students' ability to evaluate technical work (Competences A, C and E).Select the best stories to publish them in order to give an overview of what engineering is, both in general and in specific branches of engineering, always from a gender equality perspective (Competences B, C and D).
