Overview
Background: Dropout in higher education is a concern for students, families, educational institutions, and society. Tertiary education is an important mechanism for empowering people and STEM courses are vital to countries' development. Method: The study combined quantitative and qualitative data. Step 1 was an analysis of personal and contextual variables in a comprehensive examination of dropout in a sample of 1,016 engineering students. In step 2 a short interview by telephone were conducted with 82 students who dropped out, identifying their reasons and their academic/professional situation. In step 3 in-depth interviews were conducted with six students in order to understand the dynamic process of their decisions to leave. Results: The academic/professional situations of students who dropped out were quite varied, for example the same course or a different course at another institution, starting a job, not working or studying, or attending another level of professional training. There were three main reasons for dropping: vocational, learning process and achievement, and reconciling roles. Conclusions: Engineering student dropout is related to vocational and academic achievement. This should be considered in the implementation of programs to reduce the rate of dropout. Keywords: Higher education; engineering students; academic dropout; first-year students; academic trajectories. Abandono Universitario en Ingenieria: Motivos y Trayectorias de los Estudiantes. Antecedentes: la desercion en la educacion superior es una preocupacion para los estudiantes, las familias, las instituciones educativas y la sociedad. La educacion terciaria es un mecanismo importante para el empoderamiento de las personas, y los cursos STEM son vitales para el desarrollo de los paises. Metodo: estudio que combina datos cuantitativos y cualitativos. En el paso 1 analizamos variables personales y contextuales y la desercion de 1.016 estudiantes de ingenieria. En el paso 2 se realizd una breve entrevista telefonica a 82 estudiantes que desertaron, identificando sus motivos y situacion academica/profesional. En el paso 3 se realizaron entrevistas en profundidad a seis estudiantes para comprender el proceso dinamico de decision de abandonar. Resultados: la situacion academica/profesional de los estudiantes que desertaron es bastante diferente, por ejemplo cursar la misma o otra carrera en otra institucion, empezar trabajando, no trabajar ni estudiar y cursar otro nivel de formacion profesional. Los estudiantes informaron tres razones principales para la desercion: vocacional, proceso de aprendizaje y logro, y reconciliacion de roles. Conclusiones: la desercion de los estudiantes de ingenieria esta relacionada con el rendimiento academico y vocacional. Esto debe tenerse en cuenta en la implementacion de programas para reducir la desercion. Palabras clave: educacion superior; estudiantes de ingenieria; desercion academica; estudiantes de primer ano; trayectorias academicas.
