Diseño de un Proyecto de Expansión Tecnológica para el Fortalecimiento de la Infraestructura Académica en la Universidad de Cundinamarca

Abstract

Problem: At the University of Cundinamarca, technological barriers still affect the academic experience of students and faculty. Unequal internet coverage across campuses and the use of outdated computer equipment hinder smooth access to educational platforms, digital resources, and research tools. Objective: To design a technological expansion project that strengthens the academic infrastructure and improves digital access conditions for the entire university community, using technology monitoring tools, organizational diagnosis, technical and economic feasibility analysis, and the Logical Framework methodology. Method: An applied research approach with a non-experimental design was implemented, combining a technical analysis of the current infrastructure, feasibility studies, and the development of a structured proposal under the Logical Framework methodology. Results: The study identified the most urgent gaps to address, such as expanding network coverage in campuses with limited access, modernizing computer equipment, and optimizing technological services. A strategic plan was defined with clear indicators to measure impact. Discussion: Beyond simply upgrading hardware or expanding networks, the project proposes a transformation that ensures equal technological conditions across all campuses, aligned with institutional goals and national policies for digital transformation in higher education.
