Of the diagnosis to the profile for competitions: lessons learned in Engineering of Systems

Abstract

The training of professionals demanded by this century is in an arduous process of improvement to respond to social demands. The Peruvian university and within it the National University of San Agustín (UNSA) is inserted in a process of curricular transformation by competences in response to these demands. The new Statute approved in November 2015 has brought a series of challenges in the curricular transition in process, according to national and regional needs, offering the possibility of including professional competence modules with intermediate certification, flexible curricula, and consideration of criteria and international recommendations; among others. In this context arise this
research and the present article that aims to offer a methodological framework of reference based on the experience of the School of Systems Engineering in determining the professional profile. Several results are shown, such as the methodology developed, the process that starts from the diagnosis made and the identification of the competencies of the professional profile of the School of Systems Engineering.
Finally, the approach to the experience of the curricular transition of the School of Systems Engineering is offered from the theoretical positions that are defended and the diagnostic guidelines are presented, considering the regional, national and international needs based on the trends that mark the profession and the considerations for the employability analysis that allowed determining the general and specific competencies and the Professional Profile that is currently proposed for this career.
