Competency Assessment of the Engineering Software for the Curricular Orientation of Students

During the reform of computer engineering degrees, the emergence of the concept of competence has not helped students better understand the extent to achieve the objectives of the different subjects, or to make better decisions about next steps in their careers. This article is intended to show the results obtained during the investigation, which has aimed shelling general and specific competencies of Degree in Computer Engineering, focusing on those related to information security, in order to seek a much more concrete approach and detailed subjects and consequently can adequately justified how the subjects partially or completely allow to reach the competitions for the grade. This approach, and its orientation to obtain metrics on which to assess the extent to which objectives have been achieved, will also allow students to make better decisions when selecting the different subjects of the degree and know what skills are better qualified.
