The University of Los Andes, founded in Bogota - Colombia in 1948, was the country's first private university independent from political parties and religious groups. Los Andes is an autonomous, independent, and innovative institution that started out with seven programs, 79 students, and 16 professors. Today, the university has 33 undergraduate programs, 51 masters, 15 doctoral programs, and more than 17,000 students. Among all, the school of engineering has 9 undergraduate programs, 13 masters, one doctoral program, and 38% of all students in the university. The school of engineering was ranked second among Colombian universities, making it a national reference in the field. The purpose of this study is to understand the concept of engineering at University of Los Andes through the papers published in its engineering journal, created and edited by University of Los Andes' school of engineering since 1991. All the issues of Los Andes Journal of Engineering were analyzed, using their section, title, and abstract as the unit of the Content Analysis. The analysis presented a comprehensive description of the journal themes, emerging from the data set. The sample included 43 issues created since 1991, mostly twice per year. The analysis also took into account the categorization defined by the editors for triangulation of the themes emerged from this analysis. Five main engineering topics were found in the articles: traditional fields focused on discipline-based contributions, studies about specific engineering topics, generic skills, boundary publications in which articles showed a connection between engineering and non-engineering disciplines or challenges, and understanding the significance of engineering history and philosophy. The majority of the articles published since 1991 have a technical approach; however, a wider variety of approaches were found in the second half of the journal life, where historical, policy, and opinion-oriented articles were published.
