Introducción a la ciencia e ingeniería
Abstract
La ingeniería y la ciencia han acompañado el progreso humano desde las primeras aldeas hasta la actual sociedad del conocimiento. Mientras los descubrimientos científicos ampliaron nuestra comprensión del mundo, las innovaciones técnicas convirtieron ese saber en soluciones concretas que mejoran las condiciones de vida de la gente.
Entre los retos inéditos de los ingenieros actuales se cuentan el cambio climático, la transición energética, la seguridad alimentaria, el manejo sostenible del agua, la digitalización industrial, la inteligencia artificial, la economía circular y la creación de materiales nuevos. Afrontarlos exige profesionales que sepan unir conocimiento científico, destrezas técnicas, pensamiento crítico, creatividad, ética y compromiso social.
Este libro se concibió como texto base del curso Introducción a la Ciencia e Ingeniería. Más que exponer conceptos teóricos, pretende ofrecer al estudiante una visión amplia de la función que cumplen la ciencia y la ingeniería en el desarrollo económico, tecnológico y social.
A diferencia de muchos textos introductorios, esta obra integra fundamentos científicos, evolución histórica, aplicación es industriales, innovación, sostenibilidad, transformación digital y ejemplos tomados de la realidad peruana e internacional. Asimismo, incorpora actividades prácticas, casos de estudio, preguntas de reflexión, talleres colaborativos y un proyecto integrador que permitirá al estudiante aplicar progresivamente los conocimientos adquiridos durante el semestre.
Este libro aspira a servir de guía a estudiantes y docentes, de modo que se promueva un aprendizaje activo y se desarrollen las competencias que acompañarán al futuro ingeniero en toda su formación profesional.
