Análisis del Rendimiento Académico en Relación al Perfil de Ingreso del Alumnado e Identificación de Carencias Formativas en Materias Básicas de dos Grados de Ingeniería

Abstract

As a contribution to the improvement of the academic performance of first year students of two degrees offered at the Engineering School of Bilbao, a detailed study of the results obtained in each of the subjects based on the students' entrance profile since the new degree programs were initiated, has been conducted. In addition to that, an analysis of the weak areas that the students have in each subject has been performed. To accomplish this, tests at the beginning and at the end of the courses have been conducted, compiling in this way the main difficulties that students face during the development of the course. With the results obtained in this study, various weak points have been detected. These findings will serve to design academic activities that compensate the detected weaknesses.
