ESIRP is an acronym that denotes Intelligent Strategy for the Resolution of Problems; it is based in the theory of an expert system, area of the Artificial Intelligence and in the psychological theory of the learning; its object is problems resolutions. Among the competences basic professionals that seek to be integrated in engineering students are: capacity to identify and to propose problems solution alternatives; capacity of to analyze and to synthesize; to apply knowledge to practice and to work autonomous way among others. ESIRP application and it Debates contributes significantly to formation of these competences. This paper show theoretical aspects and accumulated experience when applying both strategies in engineer’s formation process. It consists of 6 phases that are pointed out with: identification of the problem; search of information; theoretical frame, development and calculation; analysis of the result and application.
