Since the 90s, higher education started to be assessed in Latin America as a means to attain quality and excellence, being this considered a public asset, such features have become relevant for the development of qualified professionals and country competitiveness. Information surveys on this subject are mainly performed by institutions which are external to universities or by surveying students, who have become the main assessors. Argentina's Act on higher education, Educación Superior Argentina No 24.521, defines the mandatory status of internal and external assessments on university education quality, on faculty performance and the excellence of the curricula. In the framework of the Universidad Nacional de Rosario, the School of Civil Engineering of the Exact Sciences, Engineering and Surveying College) (Escuela de Ingeniería Civil de la Facultad de Ciencias Exactas, Ingeniería y Agrimensura) has set up a Commission for Curricula Traceability, for which an assessment is in progress.
