“…A thorough study on the situation regarding demand of soft skills from employers and ability of the employees to fulfil such demand was conducted by Schleutker, Caggiano and Coluzzi in the European labor market (Schleutker et al 2019). In the study involving 64 managers, it has been reported that the significance of soft skills to employers seemed to vary depending on the working environment as well as the field.…”

“…Since there are various classifications for soft skills available in the academic literature, we have decided to use the soft skill list and classification in accordance with European Skills/Competencies, qualifications and occupations (ESCO): https://ec.europa.eu/esco/portal/skill This classification has been applied by Schleutker et al in the soft skills study conducted for the European Labor Market (Schleutker et al 2019).…”

We evaluated impact of employees’ participation in an employee resource group (ERG) on their soft skills learning and development and proposed a tool for assessing competence development that is often difficult to quantify.ERG has a positive effect on soft skills development, however certain soft skills do not develop in the interaction between management and new employees. Some soft skills require focused and organized learning.The role of ERG stretches beyond integration of new employees only. We propose a multidimensional paradigm where the management and organizational culture are considered as the object of development and new employees facilitate this process.

“…This raises an uncomfortable pressure between the advocates of scientific literacy, understood as fundamental knowledge, and those who prefer giving priority to learning professional skills. As Schleutker et al (2019) note, skills and competences are required in an increasingly higher degree by a growing competitive labor market. The controversy inevitably starts when people wonder up to which extent University may have impoverished the conceptual training basis, so as to focus their efforts on employability.…”

As a result of the process of convergence relative to higher education initiated in Bologna in 1999, the role of the University in the society is undergoing a profound transformation. The traditional paradigm, according to which the University is the point of departure for constructing knowledge at the highest level, is now under consideration in order to accommodate more vocational training studies, which include the acquisition of competencies as a central pillar. Nevertheless, two of the main actors that play a role in the process, academics and entrepreneurs, have different points of view with respect to the skills a graduate entering the labor market should have. Based on the results from a survey conducted at the University of Barcelona, we will show how firms turn in favor of competencies related to medium-short term productivity, whereas the university balks at setting aside knowledge with more scientific nature. This scenario reinforces the need of a deeper dialogue between University and firms, pointing out the benefits that some adjustments in college training may end up providing the society.

“…Por lo expuesto, las aptitudes que los futuros ingenieros deben dominar en el aula y desarrollar durante su práctica profesional son principalmente habilidades blandas, pues se trata de comportamientos transferibles que se pueden utilizar en diferentes contextos de la vida (Schleutker et al, 2019), por eso el desarrollo de estas habilidades son importantes y necesarias para afrontar el mercado laboral que es muy exigente y competitivo (Caggiano et al, 2020); también en nuestro país no se ha dado la importancia necesaria a la evaluación y desarrollo de la capacidad espacial, ni en la educación básica ni en la superior por lo que estos cambios son importantes para los futuros ingenieros civiles (Gómez-Tone, 2019).…”

La presente investigación tuvo como objetivo generar un aporte tecnológico sobre el uso del software libre referente al estudio de cuencas hidrográficas, análisis de la hidrología general e intepretación de la hidrología estadística para su incorporación en el sílabo del curso de Hidrología de la Escuela Profesional de Ingeniería Civil de la Universidad Señor de Sipán en estas épocas de aislamiento social y la no presencialidad en las aulas universitarias debidas al COVID-19. La metodología empleada es cualitativa, del tipo aplicada con un diseño teoría fundamentada. Los resultados del artículo inidican que se pueden integrar como mínimo dos softwares libres por sesión dentro del sílabo del curso Hidrología cuyo sustento radica en que existen diversos softwares de uso gratuito tales como ArcMap, QGis, Python, Google Engine, Pisco y RS Minerve, pues no requieren una licencia de uso y se encuentran disponibles en repositorios de universidades y entidades gubernamentales internacionales que garantizan su aplicación. Se concluye en que el uso del software libre articula adecuadamente los contenidos del sílabo Hidrología, facilitando el aprendizaje virtual, la constante retroalimentación y el desarrollo de futuras investigaciones entre los estudiantes y docentes en este campo de acción de la ingeniería civil.
