Resumen

The research consists of the development of a methodology to update the Educational Objectives in Engineering Programs (O.E.P), adopting the 9 general criteria and a specific criterion of accreditation by student results of the international accreditation agency ICACIT. Therefore, it is necessary to have global guidelines for engineering training that allow compliance with the institutional and program purpose. For this, the self-study of the program, the mission of the program, the alignment with the educational objectives, the accreditation criteria, the student's skills and results were considered as a starting point; as well as the contribution of the program's stakeholders; managing to systematize the updating process, sustaining the educational model and not affecting the students in the process of training.
