工程师职业生涯的目标是解决社会和生态改善的真实的问题。在秘鲁利马的工程技术大学（UTEC），这一愿景从学生工程职业生涯的最早阶段就开始推广，使他们能够在为有需要的生态系统开发有意义的解决方案的同时拥抱自己的创造力。在这篇文章中，提出了一种教育方法，使用基于项目的协作学习方法，目的是评估，选择和开发面向社区的工程解决方案的金字塔（BoP）的基础。沟通策略和项目的基础上共同设计的方法实施的秘鲁高原地区的工程专业学生和孤立的农村社区的评价进行了讨论。最后，分析了选择社区的过程，并确定了最重要的标准。此外，我们强调了定义元素的重要性，以了解背景（社区和地方），并在勘探期间建立未来的目标（团体和项目），这将有助于促进选择社区的决定。
The goal of an engineer's career is solving real problems for social and ecological betterment. At the University of Engineering and Technology (UTEC) in Lima, Peru, this vision is promoted from the earliest stages of a student's engineering career to enable them to embrace their creativity while developing meaningful solutions for ecosystems in need. In this article, an educational methodology is presented that uses a project-based collaborative learning approach with the aim of evaluating, selecting and developing community-oriented engineering solutions in the Base of the Pyramid (BoP). Communication strategies and evaluation of projects based on co-design methods implemented among engineering students and isolated rural communities in the highlands of Peru are discussed. In conclusion, the process to select a community is analyzed and the most important criteria are determined. In addition, we highlight the importance of defining elements to understand the context (community and place) and to establish future objectives (group and projects) during the exploration period that will help facilitate the decision to select a community.
