Resumen. Se exponen en este trabajo las competencias básicas de egreso esperadas para el ingeniero argentino, consensuadas por el Consejo Federal de Decanos de Ingeniería de Argentina, como una expresión de la meta respecto a las expectativas de formación de los egresados para las escuelas de ingeniería de ese país. Además, se expone la primera experiencia de medición de la efectividad institucional en la formación de ingenieros realizada en la Argentina, a partir del relevamiento de la percepción de los egresados respecto de las competencias genéricas buscadas. Todo esto con el propósito de dar a conocer la expresión de tales competencias y compartir la experiencia desarrollada, a efectos de promover este tipo de proyectos institucionales. En el desarrollo del trabajo, los autores reflexionan sobre la concepción actual de la sociedad respecto del egresado universitario y la consecuente necesidad de las universidades de ser efectivas en ese fin y de saber, además, cuán efectivas resultan en cuanto a dotar de competencias a sus profesionales. Finalmente, se concluye en lo valioso de la experiencia y se señala que el análisis del grado de percepción del nivel de desarrollo de estas competencias por parte de los graduados contribuye al análisis y diagnóstico institucional, y constituye un insumo significativo para el análisis, diseño e implementación procesos de gestión y cambio.Palabras clave: competencias en ingeniería, educación en ingeniería, eficacia institucional, medición de la eficacia institucional. Engineering Competencies and Institutional Effectivenessabstract. This study presents the basic competencies expected of a graduate engineer in Argentina, as agreed by the Consejo Federal de Decanos de Ingeniería de Argentina, setting a benchmark for the education of graduates in the country's engineering schools. Also presented here is the first attempt in Argentina at measuring how effective an institution is in educating engineers, based on a survey of graduates' perceptions about the generic competencies that are sought. The study is conducted to show how these competencies are manifested and the experience is shared in order to promote these types of institutional projects. In carrying out this study, the authors reflect about society's current conception of university graduates and the resulting need for universities to effectively fulfill expectations, and also to know how effective they have been in providing competencies to their students. Finally, the study concludes that this experience has been a valuable one and highlights that the graduates' perceptions of the degree to which they have developed the competencies contributes to the institutional analysis and assessment, and represents an important input for analysis, design and implementation of management and change processes.Keywords: engineering competencies, engineering education, institutional effectiveness, measurement of institutional effectiveness.

The project "Analysis of the development of generic graduation skills in engineering careers in Argentina-Mapa CG ARG" aims to "know the degree to which, within the mandatory curricular spaces, the engineering careers of Argentina implement mechanisms systematic for the development and evaluation of the Generic Graduation Skills". This is an unprecedented project in Argentina and Latin America, implemented by the Engineering Skills Research Group of the FASTA University and the MECEK Laboratory, under the auspices of the Federal Council of Engineering Deans (CONFEDI). The article exposes the preliminary results of the study, which served to validate the instrument and resulting indicators. Having been the generic skills of the argentine engineer adopted for Latin America and the OEA member countries, the experience is of interest for the entire region and can be replicated in each country Having been the generic competences of the Argentine engineer to adopt for Latin America and the OAS member countries, the experience is of interest for the entire region and can be replicated country by country.
