Graduates identify, analyze, design, develop, implement, and evaluate solutions to complex engineering problems, through the application of principles of telecommunications engineering, science, and mathematics. They communicate effectively in professional contexts and seek continuous updating, using appropriate learning strategies. They perform effectively as a member or leader of a telecommunications development team. Furthermore, they recognize their professional and ethical responsibilities, analyze and interpret data, make informed judgments, incorporate new information technologies, employ certified practices, and apply their technical knowledge and comprehensive training to achieve organizational objectives in a variety of scenarios.
Graduates are expected to continue with their academic training, lead diverse multidisciplinary work teams in national and international contexts, and conduct themselves in an ethical, creative, proactive, and responsible manner, always respecting all legal frameworks while being committed to the country’s development for the benefit of society.
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 2021-2022 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.
