LEARNING
Outcomes
.
Learning outcomes are explicit statements of what a student is expected to know, understand, and/or be able to demonstrate after completing a learning process. The Program for the formulation and classification of learning outcomes employs the well-known Bloom’s Taxonomy. This taxonomy proposes three different planes of learning: cognitive, affective, and psychomotor. The cognitive plane organizes and orders thinking skills and objectives; the affective plane focuses on the emotional aspect of learning, evidenced by attitudes, values, and ethics; and the psychomotor plane centers on physical skills and those related to coordination. Based on this conceptual framework, the Learning Outcomes of the Master’s program in Mechanical Engineering are established.
Upon completing the program, the Master’s graduate in Mechanical Engineering from the Universidad Industrial de Santander will be capable of:
Establishing ethical judgments based on standards and codes in their professional activities to perform with honesty and responsibility, seeking the benefit of society and the environment.
Proposing scientific and technological solutions, in the research areas of the Program, to regional, national, or international problems through the application of the scientific method and supported by mathematical methods and specialized software.
Proposing and executing scientific and technological development projects through research in the Program’s areas of interest, seeking social and economic growth in the regional, national, or international context.
Autonomously appropriating new knowledge to stay updated in the areas associated with their research line.
