Track: Engineering Education

Abstract

The current accelerated social, environmental, economic and technological transformations require higher education to train professionals who respond to these realities, solve problems more quickly and transform society to achieve its survival. On this basis, the National University of San Agustín (UNSA), within the framework of the educational change governed in Peru by University Law 30220, began a process of curricular transformation by competencies, for the continuous academic improvement that is currently claimed. . In this context, a proposal is presented on the formation of basic formative research competencies for engineering students, based on the experience developed in the School of Systems Engineering that shows, through two subjects in the first years of studies: Writing of Research Articles and Reports and Research and Writing Methods; the methodological strategy applied and the results obtained.
