Abstract

The writing of this article aims to diagnose the skills that the industrial engineering career curricula contain, specifically, in the subjects of “Quality Control” and “Quality Management”. The fact of not considering pedagogical, psychological and didactic sciences as sufficiently relevant sciences in the training of professionals for the engineering context, unquestionably hinders the theoretical and methodological improvement of teachers who direct learning. The objective of this research focuses on the assessment of skills as a systemic phenomenon that must prevail in the professional praxis of the educator of the house of higher education.

One of the main results obtained supports the idea of ​​the lack of systematization of the skills declared in the programs of the subjects studied, in the different semesters, due to the absence of a theoretical and methodological conception that outlines the improvement of these objects of study. psychics, present in any university curriculum; in this case, in the Industrial Engineer's curriculum.
