Desarrollo de estrategias de evaluación de competencias transversales en asignaturas de ingeniería mecánica y de materiales

Abstract

[EN] The international accreditation for the Master and Bachelor degrees offered \nat our university, together with the demands of the employers, have made it \nclear that students’ curricula should specify not only what they have studied, \nbut also what they are actually able to do. This work presents the results \nobtained within the frame of an innovative project (UPV – PIME program) \non the evaluation of three generic competences that have been traditionally \nworked in subjects of mechanical and materials engineering: capacity for \nproblem solving; capacity for applying knowledge in practice; and \ncommunication skills (both oral and written). Different tools for the \nassessment of these competences have developed with two main objectives: \nfirst, to quantify the level of achievement of the students in order to give a \nnumerical evaluation; and second, to be used by the students as a learning \nmaterial so that they can improve their capacities. These tools are based on \nthe observation of some learning outcomes associated to these competences. \nSome evaluation activities have been proposed within the different subjects \nthat allow to assess not only the specific scientific-technical competences, but \nalso some of the generic ones.
