Use of Digital Tools Contributing to the Digital Transition in Engineering and Data Science Courses

Digital technologies represent important tools for achieving quality education, which is one of the fundamental components of the United Nations’ sustainable development 2030 agenda. Teaching and learning processes can benefit from the use of digital tools, improving teachers’ productivity and giving students flexibility and support for collaborative work, contributing to their engagement. Particularly in engineering courses, open-source digital tools, such as Jupyter Notebook and Moodle, among many others, provide a suitable environment to develop and share educational materials, combining different types of resources and enabling the use of different programming languages. These tools can be used in a classroom context as well as for assessment purposes. This article presents examples of the use of technology to enhance teaching and learning in Engineering and Data Science courses, seeking to contribute to the development of innovative teaching methodologies in engineering, promoting the digital transition in education.
