Abstract


This research focuses on the ABET competencies and their implementation for the Systems Engineering program and the Fundamentals of Programming microcurriculum of the University Francisco de Paula Santander Ocaña (UFPSO) in Colombia, where the learning outcomes, the competency matrix, the evaluation rubric, as well as the different activities to evaluate the results are described. The competencies analyzed are the identification and resolution of problems using engineering and the ability to communicate with different audiences. Two groups composed of 19 and 16 students are used, which are evaluated through a final exam, meeting an average per competency over 4.0, achieving satisfactory for the beginning of the competencies and the subsequent improvement of the learning outcomes. The systems engineering program aims to achieve that its subjects have the ABET competencies and thus be accredited internationally.


Keywords
