1. Introduction
Patricia Caratozzolo is an Electronic Engineer from the University of Buenos Aires, Argentina (UBA). She completed her doctoral studies at the Polytechnic University of Catalonia in Spain, at the Institute of Industrial Robotics, with a Ph.D. thesis on electric generation systems for hybrid vehicles in June 2003. She worked for several years at the National Center for Technological Research and Development (Cenidet) as a professor-researcher, where she directed six master's theses in energy control in electric and hybrid vehicles. She is an Assistant Professor at the School of Engineering and Sciences and a Full Researcher at the Institute for the Future of Education, Tecnologico de Monterrey, Mexico.
She worked for several years at the National Center for Technological Research and Development (Cenidet) as a professor-researcher, where she directed six master's theses in energy control in electric and hybrid vehicles. He has published numerous articles on supervisory control of energy in electric and hybrid vehicles.
She is currently a professor-researcher in the Department of Mechatronics of the Tecnologico de Monterrey, specializing in power transmission, sustainability, and energy efficiency.
Outstanding expertise in the Sector of Sustainable Engineering:
- Technological innovation in the energy sector (Optimization, design, and efficiency in generation systems, transmission and distribution of electrical energy, management of reactive power, incorporation of renewable sources)
- Development of Competencies and Disciplinary Skills in Collaborative Groups
- Development of Critical Thinking and Case Analysis
- Problem-solving through Lateral Thinking and Design Thinking
2. Main Work
She currently leads Educational Innovation, Socially Oriented Interdisciplinary STEAM, Critical Thinking, Continuing Education, and Lifelong Learning Skills projects. Some projects are the design of didactic strategies to enhance the linguistic corpus of students (2017), a Transversal laboratory for the development of critical thinking (2019), a Storytelling and Podcast Lab for the development of soft skills in engineering (2021), Laboratory of Natural language Processing Tools for Assessing Digital Skills (2023). She is interested in presenting the results of her research in conferences and workshops on educational innovation, teaching-learning strategies, the fourth industrial revolution, Critical and Creative Thinking, Cognitive Flexibility, and the development of soft skills in engineering.
Dr. Caratozzolo is a Senior Member of IEEE, a member of Women in Engineering (WIE), an Executive Committee Member of the International Federation of Engineering Education Societies (IFEES), a member of the National System of Researchers (SNI) of the Mexican Council of Educational Research (CONACYT), and Vice President of the International Association of Continuing Engineering Education (IACEE).
