Abstract

This research aimed to identify the level of academic delay among students enrolled in the Chemical Engineering program at the Technological Institute of La Laguna, Mexico. The goal was to develop strategies to help students complete the program. It was found that 69.50% of the students enrolled in this program have outstanding credits. This group is distributed from the second to the twelfth semester. The majority of these students are enrolled in the eighth semester. These students entered the program in August 2021, a period during which they continued with online classes due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, there are specific cases that need to be analyzed, as they represent a latent risk of not completing the program. In these cases, options outside the program should be explored to enable them to complete their professional degree.
