opportunity, dispensed of the obligation of the physical presence of the
professor, replacing it by the presence, through documents perfectly planned
for the self learning process by the the monitor-professor.
The traditional professor that imparts knowledge is replaced by the monitorprofessor
that guides, amends and evaluates. The setup of the program has
been made in independent modules and these are divided in didactical units.
The tutorial methodology presupposes a self assisted regime with support of
monitor-professors and designed by the discontiguous modality. There are
combined the theoretical classes with practical exercises.
The tutorial methodology has made possible that removed persons from
specialization centers or with difficulties to attend, yet when are near, they
could carry out their education, update or development in his profession. The
difficulties of the travelling and the subordination to rigid schedules has been
solved by the flexible tutorial methodology, permitting the student to make
compatible his training with the availability of time and place. This modality
causes that the own student will be the one which regulate the advance of his
studies.
The developed methodology use the figure of the tutorial-professor, as power
eiement of the system, the one which directs and supports to the student.
The monitor-professor is available for personal interviews or by telephone
every hour every day and regularly by letter, telefax, or electronic mail.
The evaluations and follow-up of the student are accomplished through the
controls that are proposed in each Didactical Unit. These are transmitted to the
monitor-professor and after amended, they will be returned.
3. CURRICULA OF THE COURSE
We accept as a premise that the Software Engineering concept that were used
until a Iìttle time ago, it ìs not sufficient to provide a data processing response
to any type of problem. It were thought that the aim of Software Engineering
was solving problems of the aigorithmic type and that the aim of Knowledge
Engineering was occupied of heuristic problems.
Today this concept has disappeared. Nowadays, exist a unified view of the
Software Engineering and who develop it should know both fields of the data
processing [Feldgen et al, 1996, Garcia Martinez & Perichinsky, 1996b]. The
software engineering students should know profoundly the problems that are
presented in the software as a rule and they should have a clear vision that the
systems present a techniques duality to apply. A professional of the data
processing specialized in Knowledge Engineering of will not be able to
dispense of the knowledge, technical and traditional software methodologies
(as a way of calling them), neither conversely.
