The accreditation of engineering careers in Paraguay has had a very positive impact on the university community, constituting an enriching experience for universities. The objective of this paper is to reflect the reality of the accreditation process of the engineering careers of the National University of Asuncion on the central campus of San Lorenzo, by the National Agency for the Evaluation and Accreditation of Higher Education (ANEAES, Paraguay). In order to achieve this objective, a documentary review and the opinions of the different actors involved in the processes were taken into account. The type of research used was descriptive, non-experimental design and the case study method was used. The population and the sample were the deans, managers, teachers and graduates of the careers. The factors that had a limiting influence on the fulfillment of the objectives and goals established in the “Improvement Plans” are related to infrastructure, management, planning, teaching-learning process, extension and research.

Universities had to scramble to arrange and redesign their teaching strategies due to the pandemic caused by the COVID-19 outbreak during the first semester of 2020. A sudden shift occurred from on-site to remote teaching, accompanied by a change in students learning habits. Such changes were committed to accomplishing the expected outcomes and competencies for the courses in progress. Higher education practitioners deemed it necessary to assess the validity and reliability of the newly applied teaching and evaluation approaches to ascertain the extent of fulfillment of students' achievement. This study uses the analysis of variance (ANOVA) for assessing expectation fulfillment and outcomes of online teaching during the 2020 lockdown. This work compares the outcomes between remote learning during the confinement period and the previous semesters amidst on-site teaching. The results draw on the instructor performance under the lockdown redesigned environment and the students' perceptions of their learning outcomes. The procedure has been applied to the subjects Simulation (SIM), Applied Statistics (EDA) taught at the Faculty of Engineering of the Universidad de Piura (UDEP, Peru), and Strength of materials (RdM), imparted at the ETSI Caminos, Canales y Puertos of the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM, Spain). The findings show the impact on some students' expectancies by the change to remote teaching and some improvement opportunities for future online teaching scenarios.

Teaching-learning in civil engineering research courses is a challenge and even more in the current context of the Covid 19 pandemic, taking into account that laboratories and field works are not available. Nevertheless, it is also an opportunity to optimize the use of didactic and technological resources that enable the students to use approaches to study different kinds of engineering problems as well as contributing to their development as researchers. This study allowed to collect, through a validated questionnaire, the perception of 148 students who were in the last year in the Civil Engineering career at the Universidad Privada del Norte, and the results revealed that 61% of them were “in agreement” with the usefulness of numerical modelling techniques as a teaching resource for research.
