Abstract

The objective of the current research work is to prepare the strategic plan for the Environmental Engineering career “Extensión Norte Amazónica de la Escuela Superior Politécnica de Chimborazo período 2018-2022”, through the methodology established by the planning department which contributes to the timely and efficient decision making. It collected information for the development of the investigation through meetings with the assigned task workforce, an interview addressed to the director, besides observation techniques and the respective surveys applied to the teachers and students. In addition the SWOT matrix was made; being useful to know the current situation of the Engineering career, identifying the following findings: lack of an adequate organizational structure, it does not have a library, lack of links with society, and does not have teachers staff. Based on the situational diagnosis, it is proposed to consider a mission and vision of the career to propose strategies according to the new needs of those that are directly involved, which will help to achieve the objectives set through the elaboration of the annual operative plan that guarantees the optimization of the resources assigned by the ESPOCH. It can be said that inadequate strategic planning in the medium and long term generates deficiencies for efficient and timely decision-making; therefore it is recommended to disseminate, implement and evaluate the compliance with the strategic planning that has been made for the career of Environmental Engineering of “Extensión Norte Amazónica”, with the purpose of improving the research and fulfilling the quality of the students, workers and teachers.
