Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: The research addresses academic completion in the Faculty of Engineering of the Autonomous University of Campeche (UAC) during the 2018-2022 generation, especially affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the reputation of the UAC and its efforts to maintain educational quality, several causes are identified that contribute to low terminal efficiency. A quantitative and descriptive approach was used, surveying 200 students about various factors such as academic support, study conditions, and the effectiveness of online classes. The results indicate that many students faced difficulties such as lack of devices, internet connectivity problems, and loss of family employment, which impacted their ability to complete their studies. In addition, the lack of teaching support and emotional problems were also relevant factors. It is concluded that, despite the UAC's efforts to mitigate the impact of the pandemic, the combination of internal and external factors limited the terminal efficiency of this generation. Possible solutions are suggested to improve the academic situation of students in the future.
