The subject "Integration through CDIO", implemented in the sixth semester of Mechanical and Aer-ospace Engineering at the University of Concepción, seeks to mitigate the disconnect between theoretical knowledge and practice. Through the CDIO methodology (Conceive, Design, Implement and Operate), students develop practical projects such as scale trucks and ships in teams of 4 to 5 people. The subject evaluates key competencies of the graduate profile, such as problem solving, design, effective communication, teamwork and experimentation. The results of the implementation of this subject in the years 2022 and 2023 show a progressive improvement in students' skills, especially when additional workshops in design and manufacturing are imple-mented. However, areas of improvement are observed in the design and experimental analysis stage, which will be addressed in the following versions of the course.
