Electronics Engineering

APPLICANT

Profile

.

Applicants to the program are chosen according to the scores obtained in the areas of the new Icfes State exam (Common Core), based on a set of selection criteria, giving priority to applicants with the best overall academic performance in the indicated areas.

Applicants compete with six scores, one for each selection criterion, which are ranked according to the priorities associated to each program. When the criterion consists of more than one area of the State Exam, the lowest score is considered because it represents the applicant’s overall performance in that set of areas.

In the case of the Electronics Engineering program, the institutional agreement establishes the following six (6) selection criteria, in their respective order of importance:

• Mathematics, Physics and Language Arts

• Mathematics

• Physics and Language

• Language

• Physics

• Philosophy and Chemistry
