The implementation of the academic presencial advisory in a faculty of engineering.

Abstract

In Higher Education the terminal efficiency is recognized in the proportion of its graduates, this indicator as well as the academic trajectory are measurements of the school behavior of a group of students from their incorporation, permanence until their graduation, and are integrated evaluation criteria in the educational frameworks referenced in the planning processes due to the importance of accreditation, which seeks to ensure the quality and continuous improvement of university careers. The present study is based on a historicallogical method, on documentary analysis and on the method of analysis and synthesis as a systematic review of the indicators of the Academic Advising process within the Facultad de Ingeniería Mecánica Eléctrica (FIME) of the Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León (UANL), showing that 91% of the students who participated in the counseling program obtained the approval of the course reinforced by the advisor, with the goal of achieving 50% according to the process indicator, as well as the unit of analysis focused on the original primary studies that were compiled in order to synthesize evidence about the problems that students present at their undergraduate level, such as non-accreditation, desertion and poor use, which is specified as failure, as the result of a process that defines limits in the student's progress in their academic career.
