description In this paper, an analysis is made of the teaching strategies and methodologies used by some higher education institutions in Colombia in order to continue with some engineering programs during lockdown, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. To carry out the study, a mixed methodological approach was adopted in two phases, in which the instrument used to collect the information was designed, implemented and analyzed. The results show that teachers and students have common views on various aspects including: the duration of synchronous sessions, the preferred use of digital whiteboards, the need for both specialized software and ongoing training, the importance of a careful development of didactic sequences as well as the optimization of work times. Based on the results obtained, engineering teachers could redirect the strategies used in developing their courses in order to continue holding them in times of emergency, according to their own context.
