Abstract
[ENG] Applied scientists and engineers work for the Navy in technology development, in the design
of certain critical components, to ensure safety and to determine the appropriate tradeoffs
regarding performance, schedule, and cost. To carry out this work submarine engineers and
designers must possess special knowledge beyond that required for building most other kinds
of warships. Many systems must be designed for greater compactness and quietness than is
needed for surface vessels, in this way, it is possible for these systems to resist the physical
pressure of operations at sea. That is why the design process of a submarine is a task to
integrate knowledge and complex technologies which must work simultaneously and which
need the complement of the knowledge of the different agents related with the shipyard. In
this work framework, the lack of suitable knowledge and experience of the staff could lead to
an increase in construction costs due to changes or failure to adapt the uncompleted designs.
Also, it has been consistently described the technology as a significant, powerful shift in the
workplace climate, pedagogy and resulting learnin
