Managing the “Competency Cycle’ and educational program developing in the Information Technology Undergraduate

this study aimed to investigate managing “Competency” as well as educational program developing in Information Technology undergraduate at different countries or jurisdictions as well as comparison with its situation in Iran. The methodology of this study is Mixed-Intertwined-method and methods including Documentary Study and Survey. In the Documentary Study, the population includes international and national reference documents, articles and scientific researchs. In Survey that the research tools include semi-structired interview, questionnaire and Delphi thecniqu, the population and sample is determined according to the each tool. The results showed that the interpretation of competency impact on managing “competency” and educational program developing. Other findings indicated that in engineering field especially Information Technology, “Competency” will be developed, assessed, maintained and expanded during the four stages that is known “Engineering Competency Cycle”. In different countries or jurisdiction, almost similar models are be presented to appropriately establish “Competency Cycle” in engineering field especially Information Technology. Also, findings showed that in Iran a proper model has not for managing Competency Cycle in Information Technology undergraduate and this Cycle has not been properly established.
