Take Life. Projection of the tasks in the curriculum of the hydraulic engineer in Cuba

Abstract

The Hydraulic Research Center (CIH) of the Technological University of Havana José Antonio Echeverría (Cujae), has trained many generations of hydraulic engineers. The curricular transformations that have taken place in the country caused it to pass through two study plans (D and E); these are containing environmental legal regulations, which enable the acquisition of professional skills in future engineers, to wisely manage the natural resources that are so affected, both in their availability and in their quality. The objective of this research is to reveal from the subjects of the undergraduate study plan, the projection of the tasks manifested in the State Plan for confronting climate change in the last three years. The article reflects the projection of these tasks from: the professional model; curricular strategies; specific basic subjects; and those of the exercise of the profession. As a result of the research, it was found
that more than 50% of the subjects project, from their objectives, tasks
manifested in said State Plan, essentially in aspects related to the supply of water, basic sanitation, and the conservation of resources natural for the welfare of the population.
