Students specializing in Industrial Engineering, taking lean manufacturing, learn to design and manage a production system in such a way that it maximizes value generation through the application of philosophy, methods and tools. In order for students to understand and practice the knowledge acquired in the course, the course uses Synchro Game, a simulation of a pneumatic cylinder assembly line, in which students, organized in teams, participate, manage, and make decisions to improve the performance of the manufacturing cell they comprise. The results in the teaching-learning process have been remarkable: the teams managed to increase production capacity by 327%, improved the economic flow of the process by 465%, and valued the contribution of simulations to their learning and skills development at 96%.

This teaching experience allows us to recognize the importance of using instructional design to achieve learning experiences that ensure a better achievement of the skills expected in an engineering course through planned work in the efficient use of time and space (synchronous and asynchronous), and the accompaniment of student groups that facilitates the resolution of complex problems.

Literature as an artistic phenomenon is a proposal to create meaning and negotiate aesthetic values within a community. When this interaction occurs in the university environment, building up meaning is part of the academic discursive practices. Becoming familiar with these practices and successfully reproducing them requires specialized training. This article is based on the theory of critical reading, and presents a systematic and functional methodology to strategically read short narrative literary texts in an early-year college literature class. This competency-based approach privileges the collective construction of meaning and gives the student an active role in their learning. Therefore, it trains individuals capable of reading critically and appreciating an artistic product. We include a guide to commenting on short stories and a methodology for class discussion.

The traditional evaluation approach (based on practices and exams) domains at engineering courses. In 2020 and 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic forced the adaptation of teaching materials and methodology of these courses; however, the form of evaluation remained practically the same. In the Mechanics for Engineers (MI) course, the course evaluation was online but consisted of four (4) qualified practices and two (2) common (synchronous) exams. In 2022, within the framework of an educational innovation project, it was decided to implement an evaluation for learning strategy in this course. It was defined that formative evaluation would have 50% of the total course grade and that summative evaluation (that is, the exams) would have the remaining 50%. Also, it was determined that formative activities would repeat on a weekly basis. This article presents the design of the evaluation strategy, the development of the necessary resources for it, the implementation experience and the students' perceptions about it.
