Educational Model

 

The Universidad de Concepción has an educational model that is adopted by our Faculty, and deepened in critical aspects for the formation of engineers that the world needs. In this sense, our faculty promotes the integration of learning for the development of specific and generic competencies, essential to address complex and socially relevant problems through engineering. Thus, the 13 specialties of the Engineering Faculty have relevant graduate profiles aligned with international standards, also promoting the development of generic competencies. In addition to technological innovation, the 4 hallmark competencies of the institution stand out: Critical Thinking, Communication, Interdisciplinary Teamwork and Social Responsibility.
