Enterprise Architecture Design in Real Enterprises: Analysis of Learning in a University Course

Abstract

This study examines the impact of the Enterprise Architecture course in the Systems Engineering program at the Universidad Nacional de San Agustín (UNSA), through a pre- and post-course evaluation based on quantitative and qualitative methodologies employed. A quasi-experimental methodology was adopted, collecting data through entry and exit surveys, in addition to the evaluation of the final grades of the course without individual linkage. The findings indicate a marked improvement in the understanding of corporate architecture, analytical and technical competencies, the ability to collaborate in teams and the practical implementation of knowledge. Additionally, areas of opportunity associated with the evaluation structure and transparency in project documentation were detected. Qualitative analysis facilitated the categorization of open-ended responses, highlighting the relevance of project-based pedagogy and active learning.
