Resumen

En el contexto de crisis ambiental, la formación de ingenieros civiles en Panamá debe incorporar innovaciones para promover la sostenibilidad. Este artículo explora la integración de gamificación y análisis de ciclo de vida (LCA) como herramientas educativas. La gamificación usa elementos lúdicos para aumentar la motivación estudiantil, mientras que el LCA evalúa impactos ambientales de proyectos de infraestructura. Basado en revisión de literatura, se analizan aplicaciones exitosas en educación ingenieril, como simulaciones en construcción sostenible. Se propone un marco que combina ambas en cursos locales, adaptado a desafíos como vulnerabilidad climática y expansión urbana, incluyendo juegos digitales para escenarios de edificios y puentes. Esta aproximación mejora el aprendizaje activo, prepara para los ODS y aborda retos como recursos limitados, con recomendaciones para implementación en la Universidad de Panamá.
