The main objective of the Systems Engineering program at Universidad Francisco de Paula Santander Ocaña is to train students in key competencies, both generic and specific. It seeks to develop skills such as critical and analytical thinking to solve complex problems, as well as the ability to create innovative solutions using good engineering practices. In addition, it promotes collaborative multidisciplinary teamwork and fosters effective oral and written communication to express ideas and technical proposals clearly. All of this is oriented toward responding to the needs of the environment, strengthening organizations, and contributing to regional development.
The program also encourages autonomous learning, essential for adapting to rapid technological advancement, and fosters ethical and social responsibility. This includes a conscious use of technology to benefit both society and the environment.
The purpose of this article is to share the strategies implemented to strengthen the technical competencies in electronics and robotics of Systems Engineering students. The goal is to promote their academic and professional growth. Through innovative training strategies and the use of state-of-the-art technology, we seek to close gaps in technical skills, foster critical thinking, and prepare students for the technological challenges of today's work environment.
The proposed methodology consists of four phases. In the first phase, a diagnosis and strategic planning are carried out to identify needs, areas for improvement, and opportunities for innovation. In the second phase, activities focused on electronics and robotics are designed, using simulators, robotics kits, and specialized software. The third phase includes organizing and participating in robotics competitions and electronic design challenges, to stimulate creativity and teamwork. Finally, in the fourth phase, evaluation, feedback, and continuous improvement are carried out.
This methodology is applied transversally in the related subjects: Electronics, Logic Circuits, and Automation; complemented by the subjects of research methodology, research techniques, and integrative projects I, II, and III. In the end, the results are presented, where it is evident that academic performance, acquisition of technical skills, participation in projects, and the number of participations in tournaments have increased.
