Abstract

A framework for validating key competencies to be acquired during curricular company internships in Engineering degrees is presented. Such competencies are essential in the EHEA initiative but their evaluation is a challenge due to the non-cognitive nature of many of them and the diverse and informal learning environments. The proposed framework has been successfully employed since 2013 at the School of Industrial and Telecommunications Engineering of the Public University of Navarre.
