ABSTRACT

The socio-economic and cultural transformations experienced in the country have demanded increasingly scientifically and technologically qualified professionals, with a high humanistic sense and always committed to the revolution. To meet these demands, Cuban higher education has gone through a constant and always ascending evolutionary process manifested in the five generations of study plans. The curriculum E in the Chemical Engineering career identifies the general and frequent problems that the future graduate of the career will face. To solve these problems, the graduate must apply the essential theoretical foundations acquired in their training through the development of an integrated system of skills acquired during the career. To achieve the acquisition of essential basic knowledge that allows them to apprehend the knowledge of the specific subjects and appropriate levels of competence, different disciplines are included in the base curriculum, among which is Chemical and Biological Foundations, which provides a solid system of knowledge of the chemical and biochemical sciences. Hence, the objective of this work is: To critically analyze the program of the discipline Chemical and biological foundations in order to identify positive and negative aspects of the discipline in the E curriculum, taking into account that one of its main premises is the essentiality of the contents. Based on the above, concrete proposals are presented to improve its design in order to guarantee a better acquisition of the content by students.
