Development:

the integration of content enhances their mastery, together with the development of researching methods and the impacts of science, technology, society, and the environment. The achievement of a professional prepared to perform successfully depends on the teaching-learning process developed by all subjects comprehensively, from academic, work and research. The integration of the essential dimensions: instructional, educational, and developmental promotes motivation for study and ensures the comprehensive training of the student.
