As digital transformation accelerates, engineers are increasingly required to integrate technical knowledge with digital skills to design agile and effective solutions. No-Code platforms have emerged as an innovative alternative by offering accessible environments that enable the creation of customized applications without prior programming experience, thus supporting the development of tools in both educational settings and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which often face barriers to adopting technology.

The objective of this project is to equip Urban Mobility Engineering students at the Unidad Profesional Interdisciplinaria de Energía y Movilidad (UPIEM) in Mexico City with No-Code competencies using Google AppSheet for data modeling, interface design, and prototype development addressing real-world challenges.

The methodology followed for this work consisted of three phases. In the first phase, students participated in training sessions where they learned how to model data and design screens in AppSheet. During the second phase, two teams of four students each were formed to identify local problems where No-Code tools could offer practical solutions. In the final phase, each team developed a functional prototype, which they presented in class and received feedback from peers and instructors based on functionality and applicability criteria.

The results showed that the students, despite not having prior experience with these tools, successfully acquired the fundamental concepts for developing No-Code platforms and delivered fully functional applications, such as ConteoApp, useful for boarding and alighting studies, and RecordMantenimiento, aimed at managing vehicle maintenance services.

These findings suggest that incorporating No-Code platforms into Urban Mobility Engineering education enriches the professional profile by fostering multidisciplinary skills and promoting a stronger connection between academia and real-world needs. This approach also contributes to closing the technology gap and accelerating the adoption of digital solutions in SMEs, while showing potential for replication across other educational programs focused on practical problem-solving through accessible digital tools.
