| description | Defining the scope of a discipline is indispensable for its academic and pedagogical development. For the civil engineering in Costa Rica, there is no precedent for this task in the past. This article aims to synthetize the process of construction of an epistemological frame for Civil Engineering in Costa Rica, as part of an updating process for the graduate profile for civil engineer students at the University of Costa Rica. A qualitative and quantitative approach; along with a participative observation within a teacher commission integrated by 14 people that was created in the Civil Engineer School specifically for that purpose. Queries through interviews, workshops and inquiries were applied to stakeholders. The samples were composed of teachers (74), researchers (10), featured professionals (10), students (278), graduates (1506) and employers (306). The answers of each population were compared and completed with international references. The main results of this research are a definition, adapted to the local context, of key concepts for establishing an epistemology for civil engineering: engineering, civil engineering and its specialties. In addition, historical transformations on how the formation is taught and how it is learnt were identified. Finally, some changes derived from the current technological revolution that would complement the traditional vision of the discipline were identified. |

Definir el ámbito de estudio de una disciplina es un requisito indispensable para su desarrollo académico y pedagógico. Para la Ingeniería Civil, en Costa Rica, no existe registro de que este ejercicio se haya realizado anteriormente. En el presente artículo se sintetiza el proceso de construcción del marco epistemológico de la Ingeniería Civil en Costa Rica como parte del proceso de actualización del perfil de egreso del estudiantado de Licenciatura en Ingeniería Civil de la Universidad de Costa Rica. Se utilizó un abordaje mixto, cualitativo y cuantitativo, junto con la observación participativa de una comisión de docentes conformada por 14 personas y creada dentro de la Escuela de Ingeniería Civil, con el fin de atender específicamente este reto. Se realizaron consultas por medio de entrevistas, talleres y encuestas a poblaciones clave. Las muestras comprenden personas docentes (74), personas investigadoras (10), personas profesionales destacadas (10), estudiantes (278), personas graduadas (1506) y empleadoras (306). Las respuestas de las distintas poblaciones de estudio fueron contrastadas entre sí y complementadas con referentes internacionales. Los principales resultados de la investigación llegaron a la definición adaptada al contexto local de conceptos clave: ingeniería, ingeniería civil y sus especialidades. También fueron identificadas transformaciones históricas de la disciplina en Costa Rica, las cuales han repercutido significativamente en cómo se enseña y se aprende en la carrera. Finalmente, se logró identificar algunos cambios que complementan una visión tradicional de la disciplina con la revolución tecnológica actual.
