📊 Public Policies, Innovation and Engineering

What you will learn

The course pays tribute to the following specific (CE) and generic (CG) competences:

• CE1: Apply key analytical categories associated with the Policy Making Process for the structuring of Programs and Public Policies

• CE2: Know a number of real cases that illustrate the complexity of public policy decision-making processes, understanding how evidence, databases, previous evaluations and innovations are incorporated.

• CE3: Analyze the role, influence and interest that public and private actors have during the formulation of public policies, with special emphasis on government management (Executive).

• CG1 Understand the relevance of public innovation in State transformation processes.

• CG2 Understand the role of engineering in solving the current challenges and problems of public policies.

Program overview

The main purpose of this course is that, based on applied cases on complex public problems, students acquire analytical elements about the process of Policy Making Process, establishing how knowledge from industrial engineering can contribute to the innovation of public policies in the stages of problem diagnosis, especially wicked problem, policy design, management and evaluation. Likewise, it is intended that students can analyze institutional factors, budgetary resources and the network of actors willing to influence the adoption of public policies, so that students understand the complexity of decision-making processes , incorporating knowledge from engineering to generate innovation and greater effectiveness in solving public problems.
