The second part displays the methodology that was used to structure the paper, the poll and the student exam. The exam had four areas of knowledge: word processor (Microsoft Word), spreadsheet (Microsoft Excel), presentation program (Microsoft Power Point) and others operating systems (Microsoft Windows). In addition, we did a comparison between the requirements for the first career level at the Escuela Politécnica Nacional and the bachelor pensum about the areas of knowledge analyzed.

The obtained results showed that the students do not have enough knowledge in the basic subjects required to start a career in science and engineering.
