Caracterización de los egresados del programa de Ingeniería en Informática y su impacto en el medio

Abstract

The research project "CHARACTERIZATION OF GRADUATES OF THE COMPUTER ENGINEERING PROGRAM AND ITS IMPACT ON THE MEDIA", will impact the curriculum with contributions from the experiences of graduates, trends and realities of the productive sector both internationally, nationally and regionally before the projections of the program in updating, adjusting and curricular reform based on the guidelines for the design and curricular updating in the Santo Tomás University (USTA, 2015) and the quality assurance system of higher education in Colombia (Decree 1280 of July 2018 and decree 1330 of July 2019). The descriptive methodology was used from the collection of information through instruments, interviews, surveys, observations and focus groups; group, analyze, interpret and present the results of the characterization of the graduate and its impact on the environment. As a result of the research, the graduate of the computer engineering program could be characterized, highlighting that the training profile meets the needs of the productive sector in terms of occupational functions and professional performance. In addition, the study managed to identify and update information on the diaspora of graduates in the geographical and business area of the country, allowing them to know their geographical distribution, work location, sectors and types of companies that employ them. Given the importance of the experience, they will socialize with different networks that group graduates nationally and internationally, such as the National Graduate Network (RENACE) and the Colombian Association of Universities (ASCUN).
