CENTENO AULLA, Hernan Dario; DIAZ ORDONEZ, Juan Carlos y HIDALGO SOLORZANO, Gustavo Xavier. Automating the estimation of graduation and retention rates used for institutional evaluation. Case study at Escuela Superior Politécnica de Chimborazo Riobamba - Ecuador. Novasinergia [online]. 2019, vol.2, n.1, pp.24-32. Epub 06-Jun-2019.

Some of the parameters to be met by the Universities and Polytechnic Colleges in Ecuador throughout the evaluation and accreditation process are graduation and retention rates. These parameters derive from the number of students admitted for the first time in each major, the number of students enrolled and the number of students who exit the system. For the estimation of these parameters, it is necessary the collaborative work of career committees that are integrated by 5 or 6 faculty members. It is in this phase where the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) as a tool is required as a tool that contributes to the automation of processes through the integration of computer systems. Chimborazo Polytechnic College (ESPOCH) currently has 7 colleges and 38 majors. Each major count with its own academic desk system, where is collected the necessary information for the estimation through the aforementioned rates. In this sense, the academic desk system included reports that allow the estimation of these parameters. This study aimed to optimize the work and to guarantee the accuracy of the information obtained in a more efficient period. As a result, we have the integration of reports that show the parameters of the rates fulfilling the expectations related to the automation of the reports.
