The engineering faculty today: an approach towards consolidating academic indicators
This paper presents analysis related to some key academic aspects in the Universidad Nacional de Colombia’s Engineering Faculty on the Bogota campus. The paper has focused on three academic stages: admission, students’ academic performance throughout their studies (curriculum) and our students’ results in the ECAES exam. Regarding admission, this paper has analysed our intake students’ heterogeneity, their behaviour during the different components of the admission exam and analysed the schools providing the most students and which may receive detailed feedback from our faculty. On the topic of curriculum (i.e. overall academic performance during the whole course of studies), this paper has analysed each programme’s desertion rates (average and accumulated) and different courses’ academic failure rates and has evaluated the effect of socioeconomic conditions on academic performance. This paper has also analysed our students’ behaviour during the different components of the ECAES exam. Lastly, this paper has described some of the actions achieved by the faculty’s board of directors aimed at addressing some of the academic issues analysed in this document.
