Análisis de la percepción del medio ambiente de los estudiantes de ingeniería en mecatrónica

Abstract

A study on the perception of what is the environment and what is the level of knowledge about environmental aspects in the students of Mechatronics Engineering at the Polytechnic University of Sinaloa, Mexico is presented. For this, an instrument of data gathering was constructed, which consisted of a questionnaire including 31 questions of Likert-type scale, applied to 116 students. The analysis of content of the responses allowed analyzing the attitudes and values in students with regard to ecology and environment and the relationship of the environment to science and technology. It is concluded that a course on environmental education must be included in the program of Mechatronics Engineering.
