Basic training is offered in the fundamentation component, in which are introduced and contextualised the engineering knowledge in its theoretical foundations of mathematics, probability and statistics, natural sciences, economic and administrative
Also called disciplinar component or professional, provides the student the basic grammar of their profession or discipline,the main theories, methods and practices of Systems Engineering, whose exercise in training, research and extension will allow them integrate with a professional community or determined disciplinar
In the applied engineering, there are subjects of disciplinar component, of optional type, the deepening and free choice, if the student wishes to choose subjects of discipline. Such type of subjects allows the student contextualize and / or deepen topics of their profession , appropriating tools and knowledge in its application.
The research is the foundation of knowledge production . It developes learning processes and strengthens the university interaction with society and environment. Research must contribute to human talent training and technical development for solution of local problems, regional and international
The systems engineering program of the University, tends to strengthen skills training research for students and promotes their involvement in activities developed by an important number of research groups, distributed in diversed strategic themes of the area. The program has 14 research groups, including six (6) of category A , One (1) category B, two (2) category C, two (2) are recognized and three (3) are made up but are not registered.
The student will be able to locate his personal and university experience in a historic context, social, economic, political, cultural, technical or scientific, according to knowledge of past , present and future.
The systems engineer graduated of National University, will posses a high academic quality, human and with leadership, in order to contribute to the country development towards resolving problems related to computational systems and information and telecommunications systems .
Essential part of any university is to ensure the suitability and professionalism of its graduates, it shall be given effect to in the presentation, development and approval of work of degrre or as commonly known as the "thesis".
The work of degree is designed for students can apply, deepen and bring to scientific knowledge; it is channeling of acquired knowledge during every studied semesters. The career curriculum takes consistency with the work of degree. With it, the future professional demonstrates be able to obtain the professional title and is integrated to social and productive life of the country.

Therefore, the Engineering Faculty has taken this commitment to offer students different ways of work of degree. We expect, with helping of academic community, they can meet their objectives and contribute to a better training of our engineers.
The proposal of seven different ways of work of degree , it must contain the following aspects: Proposer, title, area or line of research, background and justification, formulating the problem, general and specific objectives, scope and limitations, methodology, sequence and activities to develop, schedule, resources, costs and funding sources and basic bibliography.
Is the activity that integrates and applies the knowledge of different areas , stimulating the development of related work:
Development of a research of experimental base
Development of a design, redesign or construction seeking the knowledge generation or solution of a problem
The final proposal is submitted in writing and will be evaluated by two juries qualifiers. The student must support this proposal before the public and the qualification can be approved or unapproved.
In this modality the student supplements his training and curriculum. The student should study three subjects related to the graduate program of the faculty or an area related to finished career . This method is developed maximum during two semesters
To enroll in graduate subjects, the student must have a qualification average equals or greater than 3.7 in the career and having studied and approved at least one subject of line of deepening related to postgraduate subjects
At the ending of subjects, the student must submit a comprehensive report and perform a public sustentation. The postgraduate subjects must be approved with qualification equals or greater than 3.5
If the student wishes to continue the postgraduate, and is accepted as regular student,the studied subjects may be approved.
Is the activity developed by a student trough his link with research institution, a local or forigen university, or a public or private organization in to perform a specific job in any area related to finished career.Is the activity developed by a student trough linking to a research center, a local or foreign university, or a public or private organization to perform a specific job in any area related to finished career. Its objectives are:
Promote the relationship University - Business
Facilitate to the student the acquisition of knowledge and experience
The internship will last not less than 18 weeks, with a minimum commitment of 20 hours per week. The control of the practice will be made by the same director , based on partial reports to be delivered in weeks 7 and 13 of the semester and the final report which will highlight key aspects of their research or practical experience. If the concepts of the company or organization and of the director are approved , the advisory committee will appoint two juries for their final approved and public sustentation
This is an educational process where the student must transmit technological knowledge to a community, considering its participation , in order to improve the life quality and stimulate community development. This method will be developed in a community that needs it or that has a problem related to engineering.
