• Resumen

  • This article deals with the outcomes of an engineering curriculum. The article describes a researchwhere the efficiency of the curriculum for communication engineers was examined by testing therate of success at work and the correlation coefficients between the accumulated average score atthe end of the B. Sc. studies (sometimes called GPA–Grade Point Average) and success at work.The correlation between academic achievements and the level of professionality could imply thatcurricular changes are required and that teaching methods can be improved, as well as the scoringand evaluation methods.
