The data presented in this article are related to a research carried out at the University Rey Juan Carlos in Spain. Chemical Engineering taught as a subject across three Energy Engineering-based degree streams was evaluated for two academic years. Student insight on course development, their own expectations and results, and the evaluation system were explored via a 33-item survey, receiving 47 full responses. The present contribution provides the full responses obtained from students to the survey administered. The received data were studied applying thorough statistical analyses used to infer conclusions. The full set of data are made public here independently from the research article.

O Exame Nacional de Cursos (ENC), como mecanismo de avaliação externa, não se limita a um diagnóstico. Entendendo a importância do envolvimento da comunidade acadêmica no próprio processo de discussão e acompanhamento dos cursos, compete à instituição de ensino superior sistematizar e analisar mais profundamente os dados e enriquecer o sistema de avaliação. A Universidade do Vale do Itajaí (Univali) utiliza o Exame Nacional de Cursos: relatório síntese 2000 com desempenho obtido na prova e as opiniões emitidas pelos seus alunos no questionário-pesquisa como subsídios para detectar pontos fortes e vulneráveis, aperfeiçoar projetos e práticas pedagógicas e desencadear novas ações integradas no aprimoramento contínuo dos cursos. Desta forma, apresentamos, neste trabalho, a sistematização dos dados do curso de Economia submetido ao ENC/1999, no qual obteve conceito "D", e em 2000, com conceito "B", a fim de elaborar um Plano Integrado de Ações Didático-Pedagógicas para 2001. Palavra-chave: avaliação processual; sistematização e integração; Provão. Abstract The National Course Examination (ENC), as a mechanism of external evaluation, is not limited to a diagnosis. Understanding the importance of the academic community's involvement in its own discussion process and accompaniment of the courses, competes to higher education institution to systematize and to analyze the data and to enrich the evaluation system. The University of Itajaí Valley (Univali) uses the Report of Institution/Inep/MEC with results obtained in the test and opinions emitted by its students in the Research Questionnaire as subsidies to detect strong and vulnerable points, to improve projects and pedagogic practices and to start new actions, integrated in the continuous improvement of the courses. This way, we presented, in this work, the data systematization in the Economy Course, submitted at the ENC/1999, in which it obtained a "D" concept, and in 2000, a "B" concept, in order to elaborate an Integrated Plan of didactic-pedagogic actions for 2001. Keywords: National Course Examination; procedural evaluation; systematization and integration.

This paper presents, within the framework of the Degree in Sociology of the University of A Coruña (Spain), an evaluation system based on a methodological triangulation that has enabled an in-depth analysis of the different dimensions of the Degree Practicum. Namely, we have achieved some conclusions about: (a) the students' perception of the adequacy between the Practicum, the Degree and the "sociological activity" of the internship centers; (b) the students’ evaluation of skills, learning results and the "sociological vocation" of the centers; and (c) the students’ appraisal of features of the Practicum related to personal experience. From these evidences, improvement measures of this particular subject are illustrated. Such measures may be of interest within the scope of the academic management of the Degrees in Sociology.

Sophomore students from the Chemical Engineering undergraduate Degree at the University of Salamanca are involved in a Mathematics course during the third semester and in an Engineering Thermodynamics course during the fourth one. When they participate in the latter they are already familiar with mathematical software and mathematical concepts about numerical methods, including non-linear equations, interpolation or differential equations. We have focused this study on the way engineering students learn Mathematics and Engineering Thermodynamics. As students use to learn each matter separately and do not associate Mathematics and Physics, they separate each matter into different and independent compartments. We have proposed an experience to increase the interrelationship between different subjects, to promote transversal skills, and to make the subjects closer to real work. The satisfactory results of the experience are exposed in this work. Moreover, we have analyzed the results obtained in both courses during the academic year 2018–2019. We found that there is a relation between both courses and student’s final marks do not depend on the course.

Echo fidelity is an important characteristic of radar simulator and it influences accuracy and reliability of radar test directly. This paper introduces the research status of simulator fidelity and sort out the definition and property of radar echo simulation fidelity. Then we propose the numerical calculation methods for individual indicators, including similarity calculation, dissimilarity computing and interval changes three parts. Finally, on the basis of the evaluation system, we propose two calculation methods for entirety fidelity, they are weighted numerical calculation and umbrella figure methods.

Sand liquefaction is a problem of complex evolution of the disaster, there is no accurate way to judge at present, this study put forward an analytical method to improve and optimize the evaluation system of sand liquefaction based on rough set. The significance of indexes are confirmed by calculating rough dependability between indexes and result for appraisement, the result show that SPT blow count has the greatest impact on the evaluation system, the groundwater level has greater impact, followed by the sand depth, epicenteral distance and duration. The proposed approach overcame the subjectivity of traditional weight determination method, so it is more objective and accurate, and it is reasonable and effective to optimize the evaluation index of sand liquefaction.

Based on the actual production data, this paper selected some evaluation parameters and established reasonable evaluation criterion for the horizontal well development effect in the ultra low-abundance and thin zone reservoir by using statistical analysis method,reservoir engineering analysis process and reservoir numerical simulation technology .In addition, a development effect evaluation system specially for the horizontal well development effect in the ultra low-abundance and thin layer reservoir was build up with the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation approach. Finally, the evaluation system were applied in several low-abundance and thin reservoir blocks. It was shown that the evaluation system can scientifically estimate the development effect of this kind of reservoir and has a practical application value.
