AST for the Development of Professional Competencies in Software Engineering

Abstract

This work shows the results of the implementation of the Work Situational Analysis, focused on the Computer Engineering Educational Programs of the University of Guadalajara, specifically on the competencies of the Software Engineering learning unit. The main objective is to identify the professional and transversal competences that, according to the industry, the graduates of these programs must comply; as well as to identify to what extent work is being done academically to achieve these competencies. It was found that it is necessary to update the Software Engineering program through collegiate work in order to establish strategies to achieve the development of personal skills and attitudes that, according to industry participants, these skills are as important as the professionals skills.
