The Agroindustrial Engineer from Universidad de Las Américas is a competent, enterprising professional with an international-global vision who has a solid background to manage agro-productive chains based on technical and economic analysis, with a focus on the pursuit of excellence, innovation, and social commitment.
Graduates will be able to identify, formulate, and solve complex problems using engineering principles, science, and mathematics. They will employ agro-industrial engineering designs to develop solutions to specific needs that take into account global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors, as well as public health, safety, and welfare. Graduates will also be able to effectively communicate in front of a diverse range of audiences relevant to the discipline. They will be able to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed decisions while considering the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and social contexts, all while working effectively in a team whose members exercise leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, set, and achieve goals, and plan tasks. Using engineering judgment, graduates will design and conduct experiments, analyze, and interpret data, and draw conclusions. Finally, they will use appropriate learning strategies to acquire and apply new knowledge when necessary.
The UDLA Agroindustrial Engineer is expected to create, improve, and enrich his knowledge through research; perform with professional ethics; be critical, creative, enterprising, innovative, and capable of solving complex problems in the agro-productive field.
Demographic Data: Program headcount totals the number of students enrolled yearly and a breakdown by men and women. Enrollment by ethnicity presents data on the most representative ethnic groups of the program.
Student Completion:
Retention and graduation rates are calculated through the 2020-2021 academic year, based on new, first-time students entering in the fall semester, regardless of whether they enroll in the daytime or evening version of their program (if available). These rates do not consider incoming transfer students. Retention rates are calculated in 1 and 2 years.
Graduation rates are calculated according to each program’s duration length (100%) and within 150% of the normal time for a bachelor’s degree. The percentage of graduates in each cohort by gender considers only actual graduates, not the original makeup of the cohort.
Scholarship information: Information is divided by the type of scholarship granted.
Geographic Data: Presents the composition of the students of the program.
Add'l. Demogr. Data: Includes information on marital status, disability, and first-generation students.
In every semester, the program provides assessment results according to its Multiannual Assessment Plan (MAP), which typically considers one or more of its program learning outcomes (PLOs). Most programs utilize the platform Brightspace to collect and assess student work and to present the data and evidence of student achievement. These results and their analysis, with the objective of identifying areas for improvement, are presented in the program’s annual assessment report. In the graphic below, the most recent period in which a PLO has been assessed is indicated, with the percentage indicating achievement of the expected performance standard for that PLO, according to the rubric used to evaluate the student work. This standard can be designated at an introductory, intermediate, or final level, depending upon how the course learning outcomes (CLOs) align to each PLO in the program’s curriculum map.
