About
Mercedes Aznar is a leading figure in engineering education, specializing in competence-based learning and the integration of interdisciplinary projects into early-stage curricula. Her most influential work, “Interdisciplinary robotics project for first-year engineering degree students” (2015), with 6 citations, demonstrates her foundational contribution to modern pedagogical methods. Aznar’s research addresses the critical gap between traditional teaching and the acquisition of both transversal and specific competences essential for professional development. By championing hands-on, project-based learning—particularly through robotics—she has provided a scalable model for fostering problem-solving, teamwork, and technical skills in novice engineers. Her work underscores the necessity of innovative methodologies to prepare students for real-world engineering challenges. Aznar’s impact lies in reshaping how first-year programs are structured, making her a key advocate for curriculum reform in engineering education. Her achievements highlight a commitment to bridging academic training and industry demands, inspiring educators to adopt more dynamic, competence-driven approaches.
