N2 - Nowadays, the certification of undergraduate degrees has become fundamental to assure the quality of educational programmes offered by universities along the country. This fact is especially relevant to engineering's degrees, given the importance of this discipline in several domains of national development. A meta-model of a cyclic model to assure courses' quality is described, which also is grounded on two process's models for self-evaluation and an improvement's planes control-and-tracking. At the present time, the latest model is being applied to the degree of Computers and Informatics Civil Engineering at the Universidad de Tarapacá (Arica-Chile), showing positive results.
