  En este trabajo se realiza una reflexión sobre las acreditaciones internacionales de programas educativos de ingeniería españoles y mexicanos, gestionadas por la Agencia Nacional de Evaluación de la Calidad y Acreditación (ANECA), en colaboración con el Instituto de Ingeniería de España (IIE) y el Consejo de Acreditación de la Enseñanza de Ingeniería (CACEI) de México, dentro del Programa de Sellos Internacionales de Calidad (SIC), desde sus inicios hasta el momento de la pandemia provocada por la COVID-19, en el contexto de la evaluación del Sello EUR-ACE® de ingeniería, creado por la agencia europea European Network for the Accreditation of Engineering Education (ENAEE). Los datos utilizados en este estudio fueron obtenidos directamente por ANECA. 234 programas educativos obtuvieron el Sello EUR-ACE® en el periodo analizado, distribuidos entre 35 universidades españolas y tres mexicanas, en los que se aplicó idéntico proceso de evaluación y criterios.

  Introduction: This paper reflects on the international accreditations of Spanish and Mexican Engineering educational programs, managed by the National Agency for Quality Assessment and Accreditation (acronym in Spanish, ANECA), in collaboration with the Spanish Institute of Engineering and the Mexican Engineering Teaching Accreditation Council, within the International Quality labels Program (SIC) from its origin to the moment of the pandemic caused by COVID-19, in the context of the evaluation of the EUR-ACE® Engineering label, created by the European Agency European Network for Accreditation of Engineering Education (ENAEE). Materials and Methods: The data used in this study were obtained directly from ANECA, as a result of its final evaluations from 2014 to July 2020, those ongoing in the same month and the potential ones to be carried out in 2021, together with the most relevant data obtained in the annual meta-evaluation of the SIC Programme. Results and discussion: 234 educational pro-grams have obtained the EUR-ACE® label in the analysed period, distributed among 35 Spanish and three Mexican universities, in which the same evaluation process and criteria have been applied. "Information and Communication", "Industrial", "Chemical", "Civil / Construction" and "Mechanics" are the Engineering specialties, according to the classification established by ENAEE, with more labels. 197 are Bachelor level programs and 66 Master degree programs. Due to the pandemic caused by COVID-19, since 2020 the evaluation has been carried out completely virtual, an improvement that will allow Mexican programmes, which have obtained accreditation with CACEI in less than two years with a favourable result at the time of evaluation of the label, to submit only to the evaluation the two specific criteria of the European label. This has led to an increase in the number of Mexican applications received in June 2020.
