The article presents an exploratory and descriptive study of the failure rate of students of the professional school of mechanical and electrical engineering of a public university in Peru. The purpose is to identify if the level of failure has experienced any positive or negative variation when moving from the context of face-to-face education to virtual education, due to the state of health emergency. This study makes it possible to demonstrate an initial reference state, relevant for decision-making at the level of university academic management, through strategies that will increase the approval rate of this professional school. The results obtained indicate that the level of failure of the students has experienced a positive variation when moving from the face-to-face context to the virtual one, due to the increase in the average rate of failure from 25% to 34%. The results are equi...

—In this competitive scenario of the educational system, higher education institutions use intelligent learning tools and techniques to predict the factors of student academic performance. Given this, the article aims to determine the supervised learning model for the predictive system of personal and social attitudes of university students of professional engineering careers. For this, the Machine Learning Classification Learner technique is used by means of the Matlab R2021a software. The results reflect a predictive system capable of classifying the four satisfaction classes (1: dissatisfied, 2: not very satisfied, 3: satisfied and 4: very satisfied) with an accuracy of 91.96%, a precision of 79.09%, a Sensitivity of 75.66% and a Specificity of 92.09%, regarding the students' perception of their personal and social attitudes. As a result, the higher institution will be able to take ...

Faced with Covid-19, and the need to adapt to environments that guarantee continuity of educational service in the context of social distancing, many universities did not initially plan the mechanisms for adapting to the virtual modality adequately. Therefore, this period of transition to e-learning was characterised by a decrease in academic performance . This article reports on a study that focused on determining whether the transition from a classroom to a virtual teaching–learning model had an effect or influence on the academic performance of university students in mechanical and electrical engineering at a public university in Peru during the period 2018 to 2021. The purpose of the study was to ensure the quality of the education system in the face of the implementation of a hybrid mode of teaching. Methodologically, a descriptive type of investigation and longitudinal non-experi...
