CORREIA BARREIRO, Suamit  y  FERNANDO BOZUTTI, Daniel. Challenges and Difficulties to Teaching Engineering to Generation Z: a case research. Propós. represent. [online]. 2017, vol.5, n.2, pp.127-183. ISSN 2307-7999.  http://dx.doi.org/10.20511/pyr2017.v5n2.163.

Many people from generation Z are at the beginning of their academic activities. This generation has peculiar characteristics that might be a challenge in the labor market. Thus, instructors have a great role in their preparation. However, professors might face difficulties dealing with their specific characteristics. The research aims to carry out a general survey to enable an understanding ofthe greater challenges and difficulties in teaching the subject of engineering to the students of Generation Z. The research method used was a case study at a University with 20 instructors from the Faculty of Engineering. The analysis revealed a great challenge in relating theoretical concepts with practical concepts. The research also showed a probable tendency ofusing more exhibition methods, and the low knowledge about generation Z by most instructors. This study seeks to contribute to the teaching-leaming process of engineering.
