Abstract
A diagnostic study of the subject Laboratory and Projects Workshop (LPW) of the degree in Chemical Engineering taught at the Faculty of Highest Studies - Zaragoza of the National Autonomous University of Mexico is presented, based on the perception of the professors, the graduated students and the companies that hire them, to realize the applicability of the contents of the subject by comparing them with the professional skills required by the labor market in the chemical industry, to support a proposal to update the subject in the different semesters, until completing the LPW of 9th level within a company. The research was carried out with a mixed approach and with a projective research model. To collect the data and integrate the information of this job, three instruments and an interview guide were developed and submitted to validation by expert judgment, these being mixed for each focus group (professors with 10 years of experience, graduates with a maximum of 5 years of having completed the curriculum, companies that hire chemical engineers and a quality assurance manager). Likert scales with confidence levels from 0.77 to 0.935 were used for the surveys.
