Professional training for Administrative Engineers and Technologists in the use of Renewable Energies

Abstract

This article proposes the conception of a professional training program for Administrative Engineers and Technologists of the National Electricity Corporation (CNEL, EP) Santa Elena Business Unit, Ecuador, in the use of Renewable Energies. The proposal is based, from the theoretical point of view, on the study of training based on competences for the use of renewable energies, on the conception of learning by working and working by learning in the job performed, as well as, on the character of professional versatility from the projection of training actions based on problem-solving teaching. An investigation was carried out from an articulated design on two levels, focused on qualitative and quantitative strategies, which allowed determining and arguing the conception of the professional training program, as well as its sense and significance for the assessment of professional performance in the use of renewable energies, in correspondence with the phenomenon studied. The proposed conception can be applied at national level with adaptability to the context in which the training of company workers is developed to improve the use of this type of energy in the Ecuadorian context.
