INTRODUCTION
STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics)
methodologies are an innovative educational approach that has
become increasingly popular in schools and universities worldwide.
This methodology seeks to promote learning through problem-
solving, exploration, and experimentation, integrating different areas
of knowledge to offer a more complete and relevant education. The
main objective of STEM methodologies is to foster critical thinking
and the development of skills and competencies necessary to face the
challenges of today's world. By promoting the integration of natural
sciences, technology, engineering, and mathematics, this
methodology seeks to develop in students a deeper and more
complete understanding of natural and technological phenomena and
the skills necessary to design, build, and program solutions to
complex problems. (Akiri, Tal, Peretz, Dori, & Judy, 2020) (Lena,
Lauer, Kuhn, Wehn, & Ulber, 2023) (García-Tudela & Marín-Marín,
2023)

One of the main benefits of STEM methodologies is that they provide
education more relevant to students' daily lives, allowing them to
better explore and understand the world around them. In addition,
this methodology encourages teamwork, collaboration, and creative
thinking, essential skills for success in professional and personal life.
Another vital benefit of STEM methodologies is their fostering of
equity and inclusion in the classroom. By integrating diverse areas of
knowledge, this methodology enables students from different
cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds to participate on equal
terms, thus promoting diversity and equal opportunities in education.
(Peters-Burton, Kathleen Provinzano, & May, 2022) (Martínez-
Borreguero, Naranjo-Correa, & Mateos-Núñez, 2022)
In this sense, STEM methodologies offer a more comprehensive and
relevant education for students, encouraging the development of
skills and competencies essential for success in personal and
professional life and equity and inclusion in the classroom. By
adopting this methodology, educators can help prepare students to
meet the challenges of today's and tomorrow's world and thus
contribute to developing a more informed, innovative, and
sustainable society. STEM methodologies have a fundamental role in
engineering schools, as they allow students to develop the skills and
competencies necessary to meet the challenges of modern
engineering. By integrating natural sciences, technology,
engineering, and mathematics, these methodologies allow students to
acquire theoretical and practical knowledge in programming,
electronics, mechanics, and robotics, among others. (Hubinský,
Legény, & Špaček., 2022) (Ambrož, Pernaa, Haatainen, & Aksela.,
2023) (Kanaki & Kalogiannakis, 2022)
In engineering schools, STEM methodologies are applied through
hands-on projects and activities that enable students to experiment,
design, and build solutions to complex problems. In this way,
students can apply the knowledge acquired in the classroom in real
situations, developing practical and problem-solving skills (Jeong,
González-Gómez, & Yllana-Prieto, 2020). In addition, STEM
methodologies in engineering schools encourage collaboration and
teamwork, essential skills in the field of engineering. Students work
in teams to design and build solutions to complex problems, allowing
them to develop the leadership, communication, and collaboration
skills needed for teamwork. Finally, STEM methodologies are
crucial in engineering schools because they encourage innovation
and creativity. By promoting problem-solving and experimentation,
40

40
students can develop new solutions and technologies that contribute
to the advancement of engineering.
Some authors claim that STEM methodologies have a fundamental
role in engineering schools, as they allow students to develop the
skills and competencies necessary to face modern engineering
challenges. Furthermore, by integrating natural sciences, technology,
engineering, and mathematics, these methodologies enable students
to acquire theoretical and practical knowledge in critical areas, foster
collaboration, innovation, and creativity, and prepare students for a
career in engineering. (Arévalo, Cantera, García-Marina, & Alves-
Castro, 2021)
This paper reviews ten scientific articles on the importance of STEM
methodologies for engineering education to know the fundamental
elements necessary in training the new engineers of the future. The
industrial future is envisioned with high digital and multidisciplinary
content, so engineering schools must reform their curricula so that
new professionals have a new vision of their participation in modern
industry.
Teaching in engineering schools has evolved significantly over time.
In its beginnings, engineering teaching focused on transmitting
theoretical knowledge and mathematical concepts. However, the
need to incorporate more practical and experimental methodologies
into the teaching process became evident over time. In the 1960s, the
industrial engineering approach emerged, focusing on optimizing
processes and improving production efficiency. This approach
prompted the integration of computer science into engineering
education, using simulation and modeling tools for systems design
and analysis (Akiri, Tal, Peretz, Dori, & Judy, 2020) (Ambrož,
Pernaa, Haatainen, & Aksela., 2023). (Lena, Lauer, Kuhn, Wehn, &
Ulber, 2023)
In recent decades, teaching in engineering schools has evolved
towards a more practical approach based on solving real problems. It
has led to the incorporation of STEM methodologies in engineering
education, where various areas of knowledge are integrated to foster
creativity, innovation, and student collaboration. In addition, with the
growing demand for highly trained engineers, engineering schools
have begun to focus on training soft skills, such as communication,
leadership, and collaboration. These skills are fundamental for
engineers in the business world and allow them to work effectively
in interdisciplinary teams. Another essential aspect in the evolution
of teaching in engineering schools has been the inclusion of
sustainability and social responsibility as cross-cutting issues in the
41

STEM methodologies and their importance in engineering training: a Scoping Review
41
training of engineers. Engineers have a critical role in creating
sustainable solutions and improving social welfare, and engineering
schools are increasingly committed to training socially and
environmentally conscious engineers. (Jeong, González-Gómez, &
Yllana-Prieto, 2020) (Kanaki & Kalogiannakis, 2022) (Peters-
Burton, Kathleen Provinzano, & May, 2022)
In this sense, teaching in engineering schools has evolved towards a
more practical, interdisciplinary, and problem-solving approach. In
addition, it has focused on forming soft skills and including
sustainability and social responsibility as fundamental issues in the
training of engineers. These changes reflect the need to train highly
trained engineers committed to creating sustainable solutions and
social welfare.
Teaching in engineering schools today
Today, teaching in engineering schools continues to evolve to adapt
to the needs of the market and the challenges of the contemporary
world. Some of the advantages and disadvantages of teaching in
engineering schools today are as follows:
Advantages:
1. Practical approach: Teaching in engineering schools focuses
on solving real problems and working on practical projects. It
allows students to develop skills and competencies valuable
to them in their professional careers.
2. Practical approach: Teaching in engineering schools focuses on
solving real problems and working on practical projects. It allows
students to develop skills and competencies valuable to them in
their professional careers.
3. Practical approach: Teaching in engineering schools focuses on
solving real problems and working on practical projects. It allows
students to develop skills and competencies valuable to them in
their professional careers.
4. Practical approach: Teaching in engineering schools focuses on
solving real problems and working on practical projects. It allows
students to develop skills and competencies valuable to them in
their professional careers.
Disadvantages:
1. Heavy academic load: Teaching in engineering schools is known
to have a heavy academic load due to the number of technical
subjects that must be covered. It can be overwhelming for some
students.
42
Revista Iberoamericana de la Educación, Vol - 7 No. 2, April . June 2023
STEM methodologies and their importance in engineering training: a Scoping Review
42
2. Competitiveness: Teaching in engineering schools can be highly
competitive due to the demand for highly trained engineers. It can
create an environment of stress and pressure among students.
3. Low diversity: Teaching in engineering schools is still
predominantly male and underrepresented by ethnic and gender
minorities. This can lead to additional barriers and challenges for
students who do not fit this profile.
4. Cost: Teaching in engineering schools can be expensive due to the
investment in technology and materials needed for student training.
It may limit access to higher education for some students due to
their economic situation.
Finally, it is possible to affirm that teaching in engineering schools
today has advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, engineering
schools must continue to evolve to address these challenges and
ensure that students receive quality training to meet the challenges of
the contemporary world effectively and responsibly.
2.2. STEM methodologies in industry 4.0
STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics)
methodologies have become a key topic in industry 4.0. Highly
trained professionals in these areas are needed to face the challenges
of the fourth industrial revolution. According to a report by the
European Commission, it is expected that by 2025, 75% of jobs will
require STEM skills. However, there is currently a skills gap in these
areas, meaning a high demand for STEM-trained professionals
exists.
In addition, the report highlights that STEM professionals are needed
in industry and other sectors, such as healthcare and energy. The
demand for STEM professionals in these sectors is expected to
increase by 14% and 20% in the coming years. On the other hand, a
UNESCO report points out that, globally, only 35% of students in
STEM areas are women. It means there is a gender gap in these areas
and that additional effort is needed to encourage women's
participation in education and the STEM industry.
However, there are also exciting initiatives in the international arena
to promote STEM education. For example, China's National STEM
Education Program, launched in 2016, aims to increase the number
of graduates in STEM areas and improve the quality of STEM
education in the country. In summary, STEM methodologies are
fundamental in Industry 4.0, and the demand for professionals trained
in these areas is expected to increase significantly in the coming
years. However, it is also essential to address the skills and gender
gap in these areas at the international level to ensure that the
43

STEM methodologies and their importance in engineering training: a Scoping Review
43
necessary resources are in place to effectively face the challenges of
the contemporary world.
Some interesting facts about STEM methodologies in engineering
education are:
According to a report by the European Commission, by 2025,
75% of jobs are expected to require STEM skills.
The skills gap in STEM is a global problem. For example, in
the United States, there is expected to be a shortfall of 2.4
million workers with STEM skills by 2028, according to a
report from the Education and Workforce Research Center.
The UNESCO report I mentioned earlier highlights the
gender gap in STEM areas. According to the report, only 35%
of students in STEM areas are women.
China's National STEM Education Program mentioned
earlier, aims to increase the number of graduates in STEM
areas in the country. According to a UNESCO report, China
produces the most significant number of STEM graduates
globally, with more than 4.7 million in 2016.
STEM methodologies in Latin American countries
In Latin America, engineering education also focuses on
implementing STEM methodologies. Countries in the region are
beginning to recognize the importance of training students in these
areas to prepare them for Industry 4.0. According to a report by the
Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), Latin American countries
have fewer graduates in engineering and science careers. The report
highlights the need to increase the quality of education in these areas
to meet the demand for STEM professionals in the region. Many
countries are implementing STEM education programs in schools
and universities to achieve this. For example, the "Science for All"
program in Mexico promotes STEM education in primary and
secondary schools. In addition, the Mexican government has
launched a program called "Youth Building the Future," which offers
STEM skills training to young people in the region. (Inter-American
Development Bank, 2022) (CONACYT, 2021)
In Colombia, the "Colombia STEM" program seeks to promote
STEM education throughout the country. The program focuses on
improving the quality of education in these areas and increasing the
number of students choosing STEM careers. In (STEM education
Colombia, 2022) this sense, Latin American countries are beginning
to recognize the importance of STEM methodologies in engineering

44
education and are implementing programs to promote education in
these areas. Successful implementation of these programs can help
close the STEM skills gap in the region and prepare students to meet
the challenges of Industry 4.0.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
In this work, a non-in-depth literature review was carried out to know
the characteristics of STEM methodologies for engineering
education and their incorporation into industry 4.0 to initiate new
research. Scientific articles from primary sources were evaluated,
which show aspects of interest for formulating new proposals that
help strengthen engineering studies and new professionals with a
view to active participation in modern industry. Figure 1 presents the
characteristics of the sources made, taking into account the sources
and the contributions they offer.
The research carried out is simplified, with the fundamental purpose
of evaluating the conceptual knowledge, theories, or characteristic
elements of STEM methodologies in the training of engineers for
industry 4.0. To this end, the methodology proposed by Kirtchenham
and Okoli, and Schabram [9] on desk review, which in practice is
similar to the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic
reviews and Meta-Anayses) review model, was considered. The
proposed method consists of three phases: planning, development,
and reporting of the systematic review, which are carried out
following eight steps for its execution: determine the purpose of the
review; define the protocol and training; perform literature search;
screening for inclusion; quality assessment; data extraction;
Synthesis of the studies and writing of the review.
