Resumen

This study explores the integration of science fiction in education, highlighting its potential as a powerful pedagogical tool in engineering and other scientific disciplines. By employing science fiction narratives and analogical models, complex concepts such as thermodynamics, energy, and entropy are made more accessible and engaging for students. The research demonstrates that science fiction can motivate students, promote active learning, and foster critical thinking. This interdisciplinary approach bridges the gap between theoretical principles and practical application, enriching the educational experience and preparing students to tackle real-world challenges with innovative solutions. The findings suggest that science fiction significantly enhances the educational process, contributing to the development of more competent and creative professionals.
