Abstract |
The evolution of industrial society to a knowledge society has provided the ideal scenario for the evolution of
higher education which has undergone severe changes in the last quarter century. Some of these events are setting
new trends, with mobility and academic exchange being some of them. This article aims to formulate a proposal
for an exchange program for students from engineering schools in Latin America and the Caribbean, taking as
reference the ATHENS Program developed in Europe with considerable success. The proposal is mainly
characterized by being a student mobility program to develop intensive courses for short periods of time in
various subject areas in the field of engineering, with the aim of making available to more students the benefits of
academic mobility for the integral development of the participants.
