【 摘 要 】

This article aims to present the results of an analysis of the level of perceived achievement of the complex thinking competency among a group of engineering students in their last semester at a university in Western Mexico. The intention is to identify whether this population has the necessary skills to meet challenges and solve problems related to the demands of their future professional environments. Specifically, we not only seek to know the level of perception of achievement of complex thinking but also to understand its behavior and the possible existence of differences between the male and female populations. Methodologically, exploratory and multivariate descriptive statistical analyses were carried out. The results showed that the participants felt a high level of perceived achievement of the complex thinking competency, which was more noticeable in the male population.
