COMOGLIO, Marta Susana. Competencies in Engineering Careers. Model to Evaluate Levels of Acquisition and Requirements of the Job Market. RIDE. Rev. Iberoam. Investig. Desarro. Educ [online]. 2019, vol.9, n.18, pp.923-951. ISSN 2007-7467.  https://doi.org/10.23913/ride.v9i18.484.

In Argentina, educational processes in the field of engineering education are going through several processes that promote curricular innovations oriented towards the design of study plans by competences and the definition of new accreditation standards.

The Institute of Research in Technology and Education (IIT&E) of the Faculty of Engineering of the National University of Lomas de Zamora (UNLZ), through an educational research, developed an instrument that allowed to measure, in relation to the acquisition of competences, the distances between the expectations, the training received, and the level of acquisition demanded by the job market.

The study was developed from the perspective of subjective models that evaluate the quality of the services, and froman ad hoc questionnaire that was administered to graduates, two statistical indexes were generated.

The purpose of this article is to present a model that, through the Adequacy of Competence (IAC) and Competence Development (IDC) indexes, measures the magnitude and characteristics of the change that institutions face when they initiate processes oriented to move from a curriculum for content to another by competencies.

Palavras-chave : quality; competences; engineering; curriculum innovation; model.
