this paper addresses the identification of academic competences for a Software Engineering Program. The definition of the curriculum is important to meet the training needs of future professionals so that they acquire the competences that the social, business and industry fields are requiring. According to this purpose, we aim at proposing the professional profile and social relevance, based on the needs of the global environment. In this context, we review international standards for creating lesson plans and curricula of colleges of high standing. Having defined the right professional skills in tune with the social relevance, the profile and finally the curriculum structure which integrates and articulates the different academic competences are established.
