Model for the improvement of the quality of the formation in mechanical engineering, applied to industrial engineering (Spanish text)

This doctoral thesis is structured in six chapters, of which the five first are dedicated to the theoretical part, and the sixth and last one to the practical part.; In the chapter first is analyzed the present situation of the public university from the point of view of the factors that affect to its general environment, emphasizing quality like an exigency for the success, mainly in its external slope of clients satisfaction.; In the chapter second is studied engineering education at general level and in relation to the degrees of industrial engineering. It's pointed out the importance of Higher Engineering for Education Europe (H3E) Agency standards, for the accreditation of the degrees in the New Higher Education European Space.; The chapter third is centered in the industrial engineering education at particular level, for the degrees distributed by the Higher Polytechnical School of Algeciras (University of Cadiz, Spain). It's considered the formation contributed by the area of knowledge of mechanical engineering to each one of these degrees, and the necessity to reorient this university product to the necessities of the clients (employers) of the next surroundings.; The chapter fourth is dedicated to justify the necessity and utility of designing the Model as improvement tool, protagonist of this thesis. For it are analyzed other management models recognized, in their aspect related to the reorientation to the clients necessities, making clear their inadecuidad for such aim.; In the chapter fifth is shown the design of the Model at general level, with the Methodology of performance and the resources for the diagnosis, like tool for reorienting the formation distributed by an general educational unit to the employers necessities.; In the chapter sixth is developed the application of the Model, designed to orient the formation distributed particularly by the area of mechanical engineering (treated in the chapter third) to the necessities of the companies of its surroundings, this is the main industrial enterprises placed at Field of Gibraltar (south of Spain). Finally are shown the results and the proposed improvement actions, like main conclusions of this thesis, for the improvement of the formation of each one of the degrees of the Higher Polytechnical School of Algeciras.
