EVALUATION OF GENERIC COMPETENCES FOR GRADUATION IN THE INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING COURSE THROUGH LA PPS

Abstract

This work seeks to identify whether the generic graduation competencies (technical and social, political and attitudinal competencies) are actually apply in the development of Supervised Professional Practices. The population of industrial engineering students from the Faculty of Engineering of the National University of Cuyo, who had the opportunity to complete their PPS during the years 2021 and 2022, was considered.
A digital survey addressed to the students was used as a self-assessment and it was verified that their current perception is that the generic graduation competencies (technical and social, political and attitudinal) required in the new standards are being met.
It was also verified that not all the specific technical graduation competencies that contribute to the Scopes of the Title can be considered in all Supervised Professional Practice experiences, since they depend for each student on the area of the organization in which they are carried out (industrial or of services) and the performance area
For the evaluations of the tutors, a questionnaire is used where the answers are uniform in the closed questions, with respect to the competencies, and very diverse in two open questions, which refer to the individual characteristics of the students.
A questionnaire is used to the evaluations carried out by the tutors of the performance of the interns, where the answers were uniform in the closed questions, with respect to the generic competencies (Technical and social, political and attitudinal) and very diverse in two open questions, that refer to the individual characteristics of the students.
In conclusion, it can be anticipated that the PPS allow us to demonstrate all the generic competencies: technical and social, political and attitudinal. The results obtained indicate that the students have achieved the defined competencies
