programs that are revised yearly. After their analysis by the study discipline staff, these are discussed and
approved in the Curricular Committee, towards curricular harmonization among the various study
disciplines. Along this entire process systematic evaluation is performed, directly if possible, regarding the
correspondence of the contents to the expectations of the academic community and of the representatives
of the social community, professional associations, and employers.
