| Abstract (English): | Since the last decade of the twenty century the influence of computers, the Internet, and Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), has progressively increased on teaching-learning activities for engineering programs in Colombia. Parallelly to the multiplicity of traditional propietary software and hardware resources used in universities, an alternative trend, based on free-open source resources for software and hardware, has gained importance for academic community members. Free-Open source tools and resources have many features that make them very attractive for people related to engineering because of aspects like costs, upgrade-license management flexibility, collaboration, source code accessibility, among others. Today we can access a plethora of free-open source hardware and software (F-OSS/HW) resources related to electronic engineering, ranging from Ohm's law to specialized topics on robotics, control and automation. Through the incorporation of free-open source tools to courses belonging to an Electronic Engineering undergraduate program, from basic level semesters to advanced ones, major improvements related to teaching and learning experiences could be achieved. This article presents some outlines to develop strategies for the improvement of teaching-learning efficiency in electronic engineering by adopting free-open resources as a driving force for the enhancement of educational and research performance on both teachers and students.

| Abstract (Spanish): | Desde la última década del siglo veinte la influencia de los computadores, Internet y las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación (TICs), se ha incrementado progresivamente sobre las actividades de enseñanza-aprendizaje para los programas de ingeniería en Colombia. Paralelamente a la multiplicidad de recursos tradicionales propietarios de software y hardware utilizados en las universidades, una tendencia alternativa, basada en recursos libres-abiertos tanto para software como hardware, ha ganado importancia para los miembros de la comunidad académica. Las herramientas libres-abiertas tienen muchas características que las hacen muy atractivas para las personas relacionadas con la ingeniería debido a aspectos como los costos, flexibilidad para el manejo de actualización de licencias, colaboración y accesibilidad al código fuente, entre otras. En la actualidad se puede acceder a una plétora de recursos libres-abiertos de hardware y software que están relacionados con ingeniería electrónica, que van desde la ley de Ohm hasta temas especializados de robótica, control y automatización. A través de la incorporación de herramientas libres-abiertas a los cursos pertenecientes a un pregrado en Ingeniería Electrónica, desde los semestres de nivel básico hasta los avanzados, se pueden alcanzar logros importantes en relación a las experiencias de enseñanza y aprendizaje. Este artículo presenta algunas ideas generales para desarrollar estrategias para el mejoramiento de la eficiencia enseñanza-aprendizaje en ingeniería electrónica mediante la adopción de recursos libres-abiertos como una fuerza impulsora para el mejoramiento del desempeño educativo e investigativo tanto de profesores como de los estudiantes.
