Importancia de la práctica en la construcción de competencias en Ingeniería Industrial

Abstract

This article is the research result about the importance of the practice as a tool in building skills in the programs of Industrial Engineering. Based on investigations and previous documents prepared by Buritica (2012), Valle and Cabrera (2009), Letelier, Lopez Carrasco and Perez (2005), Palma, De los Rios, Miñán and Luy (2012), Zhan Liang, Xiuju and others (2014) who state that skills development is evident as a need in the student and society, and the use of a practice before graduation. Personal, interpersonal, management, specific, initiative for change, leadership, flexibility, results orientation, action orientation and sociability skills are conceptualized as labor found in this document. It defines concepts of curriculum and skills which were the ones named above. Subsequently seeks to answer: What elements should include a proposal to guide the curriculum of teaching through practice and skills development in universities that provide career of Industrial Engineering?, for this purpose it is used descriptive statistic, applied to four institutions classified as the best in terms of quality (MEN, 2015) they are compared by determining the degree of employment of labor skills and practice in the curriculum as a training aid, to finally serve the aim of proposing a set of criteria that enable university education institutions that provide career of Industrial Engineering, to orient the curriculum towards practical teaching and development skills: guidance to results, initiative for change, leadership, action orientation, flexibility and sociability
