Work in Progress: Engineering Education for Buen Vivir in the Context of 4th Industrial Revolution

According to the technological and scientific developments that had raised the fourth industrial revolution, it is necessary that educational processes will be updated with the aim of training citizens to develop skills for the resolution of complex problems associated with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). However, sometimes these goals are not enough to ensure the social development of the community, since they focus mainly on sustainability from a point of view centered on the global north.
