Abstract:
In this paper, a simulation of enlisting and use of free practicum courses for engineering students from Instituto Tecnológico Metropolitano (ITM) is presented. Currently, this university is interested in getting better results to rank more competitively among other universities. Although the current courses are free, a high quality offer is evidently more expensive and we need to maximize the impact of the students in the labor market. In Colombia, many universities certify engineering students in computer sciences so, in order to attend the current needs of our institution and the labor market, we would like to contribute to decision-making processes through agent-based simulation regarding what Information Communications Technologies courses may fit best for the community and the industrial clusters ITM students are and will be working in.
