• Resumen

  • The ETSEIAT (Escola Te`cnica Superior d’Enginyeries Industrial i Aerona`utica of Terrassa) recently executed pilot programs tointroduce generic and specific skills into its study plans. As these pilots are now concluding, an evaluation of their efficiency hasbeen conducted. This paper analyses the answers given by professors who were interviewed (via in-person interviews and onlinetests) to determine how they developed and evaluated their students’ skills. The results of these interviews offer clear data about theprogress obtained by the pilot programs, how the professors understood the recently added dynamics and tools, and how the newskills are integrated into the various subjects and courses.
