ABSTRACT
In the academic year 2004/2005 the Spanish National Agency for Quality Assessment and Accreditation (ANECA) has established a procedure for evaluating both teaching and institutions by means of the Institutional Assessment Programme. This programme is organized in three stages: Self-Assessment, External Assessment and Plan for improvement. This paper analyzes the external assessment phase for qualidfications in the field of Industrial Engineering inside the Spanish University System. To achieve this, we propose a Decision Supports System whose employment may obtain a classifier of qualifications and, in any case, provides information to aid strategic decision making on the institutions involved.
