The research made it possible to determine that the updating of learning competencies, technological advances, the deadlines that the university law regulates, and the standards of the accrediting entities contribute to the improvement of the curriculum of the faculty of mechatronics engineering of the Ricardo Palma University (URP). ). The objective is to update the competencies of the professional profile of the graduate of the mechatronics engineering school and develop the new study plan, which includes the list of subjects, a number of hours and credits, consider benchmarking with other universities in the QS ranking, in such a way that the duly selected competencies guarantee the approach of relevant content, the final result of which allows us to implement the standards for national and international reaccreditation in 2023 and inclusion in global education. The theoretical reference is based on the concept of "Curriculum" by Glazman and Ibarrola (1978), who argue that curricula can be organized by subjects, areas of knowledge, or modules. Any of the options implicitly has a conception of man, science, knowledge, practice, school-society relationship, learning and teaching, and professional practice. The results were validated with descriptive statistics for the evaluation of indicators according to the Criterion p-value whose result p-value = 0.039, determined the consistency of the dimensions of the study variables. It is concluded that the improvement of the curriculum is based on the graduation profile, the relationship of the competencies with the curriculum, the lists of each subject, the methodological strategies, the learning evaluation system, and the proposal of the new curriculum.
