Curriculum Redesign of the subject "calculas in a variable" for systems engineering

Abstract

The National University of San Agustin of Arequipa (UNSA) - Peru has been going through a process of adaptation to the University Law No. 30220. In this context, the named "educational model of the National University of San Agustin Arequipa". Model has been developed, which incorporates international standards for the professional training of their pupils, it also considers the curriculum design by competences. Taking into account all these bases the present research is been carried out directed to redesign the curriculum of the subject "calculas in a Variable" delivered at the University of San Agustin to students majoring at “Systems Engineering”. The work shows that it is the first course of basic training of new and extensive content that serves as a basis for carrying other courses and their importance in the training of engineers. The statistics show that there are a large number of student dropout and failures. That is why a transformative reflection on the teaching-learning process is required, departing from the transformation of the curriculum of the subject in such a way as to respond to the demands of the twenty-first century.

Key words: Curriculum Redesign, mathematical skills, teaching-learning, training of engineers.
