Descripción Civil engineering positions itself as a leader in the transformation of educational assessment methods, replacing traditional exams with public portfolios and open science practices, especially in road projects. This approach fosters reflection, autonomy, and collaboration among students, allowing them to document competencies through digital artifacts such as reports, designs, and reflections on real projects. Based on a literature review, implementation processes, technological and pedagogical barriers, and strategies to overcome them are analyzed, such as training and continuous feedback. In the context of the pandemic, changes towards alternative assessments that promote academic integrity and practical application of knowledge were observed. The integration of open science, through reproducible data and open-source tools, improves sustainability and safety in road infrastructures, using simulations and geographic analyses. Benefits such as greater knowledge retention and development of professional skills are highlighted, although challenges in workload and privacy persist. This model not only elevates the quality of education in civil engineering but also contributes to more efficient and equitable road projects, aligning with sustainable development goals.
Descripción La ingeniería civil se posiciona como líder en la transformación de los métodos de evaluación educativa, reemplazando los exámenes tradicionales por portafolios públicos y prácticas de ciencia abierta, especialmente en proyectos viales. Este enfoque fomenta la reflexión, la autonomía y la colaboración entre estudiantes, permitiendo documentar competencias a través de artefactos digitales como informes, diseños y reflexiones sobre proyectos reales. Basado en una revisión de literatura, se analizan procesos de implementación, barreras tecnológicas y pedagógicas, y estrategias para superarlas, como capacitaciones y retroalimentación continua. En el contexto de la pandemia, se observaron cambios hacia evaluaciones alternativas que promueven la integridad académica y la aplicación práctica del conocimiento. La integración de ciencia abierta, mediante datos reproducibles y herramientas de código libre, mejora la sostenibilidad y la seguridad en infraestructuras viales, utilizando simulaciones y análisis geográficos. Se destacan beneficios como mayor retención de conocimientos y desarrollo de habilidades profesionales, aunque persisten desafíos en carga laboral y privacidad. Este modelo no solo eleva la calidad educativa en ingeniería civil, sino que contribuye a proyectos viales más eficientes y equitativos, alineándose con objetivos de desarrollo sostenible.
