Abstract

TREJOS BURITICA, Omar Iván. What do the Humanities Really do in Systems Engineering? Confronting Reality within the Framework of the Colombian Public University. Ágora U.S.B. [online]. 2019, vol.19, n.2, pp.456-469. ISSN 1657-8031.  https://doi.org/10.21500/16578031.3689.

This article presents the results of a study conducted with members of the academic community of systems engineering of different Colombian public universities, whose purpose is to reveal the true impact of the Humanities on the curriculum. Students, teachers, and alumnia were approached and, in conjunction with the formal elements established by the curricular proposals, it was investigated how far the Humanities are fulfilling their role in this engineering program, by confronting what was proposed with what has been experienced. The results obtained seem to indicate a distance between what is proposed and what is actually experienced in the classroom. Likewise, it is concluded that the presence of the subject matters of the Humanities in a systems engineering program is always very important and when the instructors, who are responsible for serving them to students, are aware of their role in this program, and thus disclose it.

Keywords : Colombian Education; Public Education; Humanities in Systems Engineering; and University.
