PEREZ RASETTI, Carlos. Program accreditation and engineer training in Argentina. Avaliação (Campinas) [online]. 2004, vol.09, n.03, pp.131-142. ISSN 1414-4077.

The accreditation process of 240 engineering programs held by CONEAU in Argentina since March 2002 has driven several changes in the engineering programs and has had an impact in the university system itself. Some changes have already been implemented and some other reforms are in process both at the level of institutional cultures and in the curricula. Nevertheless, accreditation processes have also made evident some other problems that are beyond individual institutions and require a perspective of an integral public policy. If the university system in this area will go along a policy for national economic reconstruction, there is a need for the development of public policies from the National Secretary for University Policies in collaboration with other areas at the state level.
