Abstract

We are presenting in this paper the experience of the quality self-assessment process carried out at the Industrial and Computer Engineering School, of the University of Oviedo in Spain. Our methodology followed basically the procedure stated in the National Plan for the Quality Self-assessment of the Spanish Universities. In order to carry out the whole process, the staff and the students of the School made a committee, with weekly meetings, who monitored and analysed all the School parameters of quality: teaching, research, and services. The committee designed some surveys for the students and staff, and started a data gathering procedure looking for the strengths and weaknesses of the organisation. This self-assessment will allow us to start in the near future the implementation of a quality plan for the School.
