The present study describes the planning, design, implementation and validation of a system of competency-based training in a course of Industrial Engineering program, where the impact of two teaching methodologies are evaluated, (one based on traditional classes and other based on hands-on activities from GEIO’s research group), in student’s academic performance. A base line is taken, a specific competence from Stochastic Process subject (formative project). This research shows two fundamental axes of analysis: one based on Experimental Design application as a validation statistic tool, and the other focused on evaluation proposal of competences formation system, related to new curriculum framework in Industrial Engineering program. Experimental Design is planned with a researching problem definition: The Higher Education System in Colombia shows the need of change the teaching strategies and Engineering education, to achieve a meaningful learning system in students of s. XXI. For this reason this project plans how evaluate two pedagogic strategies in Industrial Engineering of Universidad Tecnologica de Pereira, assessing the academic performance of students. In Experimental Design planning process was defined response variable, factors like Teacher (blocking factor), academic average during the career (with higher, medium and lower levels), and teaching methodology (with traditional and hands-on activities). Principal effects and ANOVA were the principal study tools in Factorial Design tipology. A competence valuation analysis was proposed, related to the building a strategy of rubric evaluation, and a assess system based on application scenarios and specific competence validation. The results show that statistically there is not significance difference to say that student achievement average is directly influenced by some of the pedagogical methodologies of the study. It also analyses the proposal of a new evaluation framework, where ii could show that students with lower level of academic career average has a higher performance. This provides an approach of a set of questions, reflections and complement of qualitative analysis related to researching question.
