The paper considers the concept of competences and how to develop these in the course of mastering academic disciplines at universities. The need for automated procedure of evaluating degree of competences maturity is emphasized as well as related tasks to be resolved to elaborate such a procedure. Also discussed are current methods of students’ knowledge evaluation, and automated evaluation systems, operating on the basis of these methods.

The paper provides the method to develop the drafting and CAD standards for mechanical engineering program based on the systemic approach. The drafting has been used since the early stage of engineering. Lots of drafting technique has been developed and standardized. Recently, Computer Aided Design (CAD) software has been used widely in academia and industries too. Because of these reasons, every mechanical engineering program offers Drafting and CAD courses to its students. Some programs even have their own Drafting and CAD standards. However, it is not easy to develop the Drafting and CAD standard for whole program. It needs a careful plan to develop the standards. It needs to meet the certain requirements. Those requirements are 1) It needs to meet ASME Y14/ANSI Y14 standard as much as possible, 2) Students should be able to understand the standards and apply the rules to their own drawing and CAD models, 3) Any instructors should be able to give the proper feedback to students about their drawing using the standards, 4) Graduating students should be able to adopt the standard of their company easily. To meet these requirements, some preliminary work must be done. 1) Understanding of ASME Y14 is needed, 2) Expertise of one or more CAD software packages is required, 3) Students’ level of understanding the ASME Y14 standards needs to be measured, 4) Feedback from industries is required. Each steps of development of Drafting and CAD standards are explained using real example of students work.

Automated evaluation systems for objective type tests already exist. However, it is challenging to make an automated evaluation system for subjective type tests. Therefore, focus of this paper is on evaluation of simple text based subjective answers using Natural Language Processing techniques. A student's answer is evaluated by comparing it with a model answer of the question. Model answers cannot exactly match with the students' answers due to variability in writing. Therefore, researchers create conceptual graphs for both student as well as model answer and compute similarity between these graphs using techniques of graph similarity measures. Based on the similarity, marks are assigned to an answer. Lastly, in this manuscript authors compare the results obtained by human graders and the proposed system using Pearson correlation coefficient. Also, comparison has been drawn between the results of proposed system with other existing evaluation systems. The experimental evaluation of the proposed system shows promising results.

This article traces the evolution of research and development activities at the Autonomous National University of Mexico (UNAM), one of the largest universities in the country. The author discusses the tensions between the teaching and research functions of the University, and the way in which the organization of these activities has changed over the years; the positive and negative impacts of the research incentives and evaluation systems that have aimed to encourage and promote R&D; and the efforts of the Center for Technological Innovation at the University to facilitate and encourage linkages between academic researchers and industry in the face of a low participation in R&D on the part of the private sector and a considerable cultural divide between the two sectors. A key problem is posed by a system of research evaluation which favours the more traditionally academic disciplines doing basic science research and tends to discourage technological and applied research.
