Design and Viability of Resources for Teaching QSAR Modeling in Chemical Engineering
Abstract
The Modeling Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (QSAR) is relevant to chemical engineering but it is still not part of the training curricula. With the aim to integrate it, an investigation has been developed using elements of the anthropological theory of the didactic and didactic engineering. The didactic transposition on QSAR modeling has been performed. Two university curricula and the didactic routes on QSAR –didactic classification of knowledge by topic and level of complexity for its study– have been analyzed. Based on this, didactical devices were designed: Study and Research Paths (SRP-QSAR). Its viability of implementation in Chemical Engineering courses was evidenced, constituting an innovative didactic way to allow future engineers to build and interpret models.
