Abstract

ROBAYO-BOTIVA, Diana M.; SIERRA-ALVAREZ, William  and  COLMENARES, Ramon F.. Formulation of indicators for the measurement of products of engineering research groups for their application in the SINFONI platform of the Cooperative University of Colombia. Ing. compet. [online]. 2021, vol.23, n.2, e20510332.  Epub May 18, 2021. ISSN 0123-3033.  https://doi.org/10.25100/iyc.v23i2.10332.

The purpose of the research is to propose performance indicators for their implementation in the SINFONI research information system, and thus to measure the research groups initially in the engineering area. The methodology includes the characterization of the University's research professors and the research groups to which they belong, the identification of the contribution of the engineering research groups to the regions in coherence with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the departmental development plans and lines of research from the projects registered on the GrupLAC and SINFONI platform, and additionally, conducting interviews with the personnel in charge of SINFONI in order to know the system and its gear not only with the plan National Strategic 2013 - 2022 “Navigating Together” (PEN) but also with development plans and the SDGs through indicators. The initial phases of the TOGAF enterprise architecture model were used and applied to a higher education institution. Among the conclusions are that the development of projects carried out by the engineering research groups that contribute to the departmental development plans is not very significant, however, the projects are related to the SDGs, on the other hand, with respect to SINFONI, despite its robustness and its interaction with other university systems, it does not have indicators to demonstrate compliance with the strategic research objectives defined in the PEN, nor its contribution to departmental development plans, so the contribution is a proposal of indicators. The inclusion of the indicators in SINFONI will allow the realization of measurements to determine the contribution of the university to the regions, SDGs and finally demonstrate compliance with the PEN (research strategic axis) and its mission.
