Knowledge Generation in Higher Education Institutions

Higher education institutions have a significant role in the development of the economy of any society. Its primary goal should lie in the generation, transfer, and application of knowledge. The institutions that take their role in this complex task seriously will achieve closer ties of dynamic collaboration and will be able to compete with other economies. This research addresses the mission, function, and challenges of curriculum and studies plan design and development in higher education institutions, to present a model proposal to foster articulated curricula between academic institutions and society.
