Abstract

This article presents a pedagogical proposal based on transdisciplinarity as a connecting axis between technical, scientific, social, and cultural knowledge in the teaching of Unit Operations I. The development of ten integrative projects carried out by industrial engineering students demonstrates how the classic concepts of mass, energy, and momentum transport can be approached from a contextual, complex, and meaningful perspective. The article includes a theoretical foundation based on the complexity paradigm, a methodological analysis of the classroom, interpretive graphics, and a reflection on emerging trends. It concludes that transdisciplinarity strengthens professional development, fosters critical thinking, and transforms the classroom into a space for collective knowledge construction. The research confirms Suanno's (2023) understanding that transdisciplinarity is a principle-strategy for reorganizing knowledge, reorganizing the search for knowledge, as well as a way to produce metamorphosis and reform in lifestyle.
