About
Jesus Franklin Andrade Romero is a dedicated engineering educator whose work centers on curriculum innovation and the early-stage formation of engineering students. His primary research area lies in engineering education, with a particular focus on introductory pedagogical methods and the structural challenges of new public universities in Brazil. His most cited paper, "Engineering education at a new public university in Brazil: first students’ contact with engineering methods" (2011), with 4 citations, documents the pioneering implementation of an introductory discipline at the Federal University of ABC (UFABC). This work highlights a key contribution: the design and assessment of a common basic curriculum that precedes professional specialization, a model that aims to broaden students’ foundational knowledge before they commit to a specific engineering track. By analyzing students’ first contact with engineering methods, Andrade Romero provides valuable insights into how institutional structure can shape learning outcomes and student engagement. His research is particularly relevant for educators and administrators seeking to reform engineering programs in emerging university systems, offering a replicable framework for integrating general education with professional training.
