Society 5.0 Competences in Telecommunications Engineering Graduates, UNED, Costa Rica

Abstract

Society 5.0 redefines the paradigms with which training in the field of engineering has been carried out, which leads to a social approach within a field considered technological. This approach should be transferred to the training process of students, which is why the Telecommunications Engineering degree program at UNED needs an evaluation of the incorporation of competencies related to Society 5.0 in its training process. Thus, this research is proposed to determine qualitatively whether this approach has been incorporated or not. The method proposed the search for information in literature, review of the study plans and survey to the graduates of the program. Thus, through the analysis of the three elements, it is determined that the program has taken its initial steps and implicitly includes competencies in its teaching process, but there are still gaps to improve to move to an explicit scope.
