RODRIGUEZ, AlejAndro; LOZANO, Carmen  y  OCHOA DE ERIBE, J. Ignacio. DEVELOPMENT AND ASSESSMENT OF COMPETENCES IN TECHNICAL SUBJECTS OF ENGINEERING STUDIES: AN APPROACH. Rev. Fac. Ing. UCV [online]. 2011, vol.26, n.1, pp.19-27. ISSN 0798-4065.

The present work deals with a learning-teaching methodology. It is based on developing competences included in engineering graduates studies. Then following objectives are proposed: define and develop the collection of specific competences; define and apply several modes of teaching and learning; provide an evaluation system able to prove them. A conclusion is worth to emphasize: Success to accomplish these objectives depends on human and material resources available in university centers. Besides, Depending on academic burden for lecturers, it can involve considerable increase in teaching activity. As a positive aspect, evaluation by competences facilitates enlarging autonomous education of students
