Abstract
This study intended to define and implement activities to ensure the acquisition of generic skills and to evaluate the acquisition by students from the perspective of the latter and from the teacher. This research focuses on official postgraduate studies, which develop in the field of Advanced Manufacturing Engineering in open teaching. To obtain the data, combined analysis of teachers (internal vision) and student surveys (external view). The results from the insight they give an idea of activities designed, although focused on knowledge, abilities and technology skills, combining a methodology that implicitly has contemplated generic skills; moreover, the external view corroborate it, especially considering the student profile and the specialty studied, but also detect some aspect of improving.
