Measurement and improvement of the reliability in the competency assessment of the engineer's training.

Abstract

In this paper, the importance of a properly designed rubric in the competency-based assessment process is emphasized. The consistency of this rubric is crucial to ensure a fair evaluation by the facilitator. The research focused on developing and applying a rubric to evaluate competencies in the training of engineers within a university in Mexico. The study used Cronbach's alpha and the Pearson coefficient to quantify the correlation between the criteria and parameters. The results showed low values for the reference indicators, displaying a lack of consistency. The paper includes proposals for improvement in the criteria and parameters until reaching the appropriate value that provides security and certainty in its application.
