Resumen

This database presents the results of nine different scales aimed at directly evaluating learning outcomes as generic attributes in engineering programs, as defined by the Washington Accord and the International Alliance of Engineering. Data was collected at a higher education institution focused on engineering and technology as part of quality assurance processes. Each scale features a distinct number of indicators. The data correspond to the following scales: AC (Lifelong Learning), AF (Project Management and Finance), AP (Problem Analysis), DI (Design/Development of Solutions), EE (Ethics), HC (Communication), HI (Tool Usage), IN (Investigation), and TE (Individual and Collaborative Teamwork).
