Abstract

SALAZAR MURILLO, Rodrigo. Training diagnostic for competency-Based Civil Engineering, case: FNI/Oruro. Edu. Sup. Rev. Cient. Cepies [online]. 2021, vol.8, n.1, pp.69-83. ISSN 2518-8283.

Abstract The implementation of competency-based training in Bolivian universities contrasts with the complaints of professionals about an existing gap between work and academics that imply the existence of deficiencies in the competencies developed. In order to investigate this problem in more depth, it is necessary to delimit the competences by categories to consult the professionals of the area and identify the type of competence with greater problems in the new professionals, identifying that there is conformity with the theoretical knowledge acquired in the university and being that the same is related to the specific competences, for which the generic competences are chosen for a second survey starting from the list established by the Tuning Project for Latin America in civil engineering and collecting opinions on the degree of training according to the students themselves, and the degree of relevance for the professionals for each competence of the defined list. It is thus identified that among the competencies with the lowest degree of development according to the students, the one that coincides with the most relevant competencies for professionals is “the ability to formulate and manage projects”, which needs to be reinforced by the universities in Oruro.

Keywords : Competency Based Training; Diagnostic Study; Civil Engineering.
