Abstract

The present research work Strategic Plan for the Chemical Engineering Career of the Faculty of Sciences of the Escuela Superior Politécnica de Chimborazo, Period 2018-2022, aims to improve the internal and external processes of the career. In order to comply with the proposal, the type of descriptive research was used, with the deductive and analytical-synthetic methods, supported by the surveys made to teachers and students of the Chemical Engineering Career. They were developed in each of the elements of the strategic plan, starting from a diagnosis of the Career, through which the SWOT matrix could be structured, based on the 4 university functions. The proposal is based on the definition of strategies, operational objectives, programs and activities, where its main weaknesses fell on a low rate of teachers with ownership, so programs were established to manage merit competitions, being another weakness lack of training for teachers for which training was established in the professional practice, teaching pedagogy, didactics, and pedagogical instruments semiannually.
