The computer engineering

The Spanish university system is in the process of deriving adaptation of the so-called Bologna agreement. Process that involves, among other measures, the reform of its bid to shape the new curriculum European Higher Education Area, which replaced the degrees of Engineering, Diploma, Degree and Diploma by the official master of degree. The task is not exempt from criticism and controversy because of the uncertainties, including the risks that threaten necessarily an unknown horizon. No one escapes that decisions today will affect the future development of many of the existing professions. The news on other websites Websites in Spanish in other languages Since we view with concern the universities this incomprehensible and unjustifiable delay This is the case of engineering, which dealt with powers of regulated professional qualifications required, in addition to the overall policy framework, a specific report. So that they are governed by this double standard minimum requirements to meet these qualifications and master's degree. Complex issue that has led to a major process of debate and study among the Administration, the governing and professional bodies. After many months of endless debate to define the requirements, the ministry has announced that it will soon fix its position with the enactment of the relevant ministerial order, where the requirements are defined for this family of engineering professions. The completeness with which we are discussing certain professional profiles more appealing if it's sweeping exclusion of the branch computer. We talk about which has become the latest way in the first of the engineering of the state, with more students (around 100,000, a quarter of all engineering courses in Spanish universities), and with about thirty years and more than 140,000 graduates. It is incomprehensible to all lights that has not been regulated as a profession to date and especially if we remember that we are in the so-called era of the knowledge society, where ICT is a crucial element and where the digital divide weigh negatively on the Spanish economy and Europe (compared to an investment per capita, higher than the 400 dollars a year, in the case of U.S. or Japan, our barely $ 100 a year). In this context, and pending such regulation by the Ministry of Science and Innovation, it seems to me very appropriate to listen as the authoritative voices of the Conference of Deans and Directors of Information Technology (CODDI), which, based on work performed in his day The ANECA, poses a proposal that would certainly contribute to speeding up the necessary regulatory process for these professional qualifications. Since universities, and is an opinion shared by many fellow rectors, we view with concern and we understand that this incomprehensible, unjustifiable delay, which can lead to disappointment and despondency both of those engaged in our classrooms-now-the study of these curricula as necessary for our progress, as young people who are considering what to choose when accessing the university. But, nevertheless, the most disturbing is the absence of the necessary guarantees for the company in regard to the exercise of various professional activities in the field of information technology. That is why we advocate that you start without further delay and as a matter of urgency, the necessary path to the regulation of the profession of computing
