CHAVEZ MORENO, Edgar Armando. Comparative Analysis Among UABC Students of Entrepreneurial Skills. RIDE. Rev. Iberoam. Investig. Desarro. Educ [online]. 2020, vol.10, n.20, e031.  Epub Nov 18, 2020. ISSN 2007-7467.  https://doi.org/10.23913/ride.v10i20.646.

This descriptive, non-experimental and non-parametric study shows the results obtained from a test that measures 14 entrepreneurial competences applied to students of the Escuela de Ciencias de la Ingeniería y Tecnología (ECITEC) of the Universidad Autónoma de Baja California (UABC) during 2017-2 and 2018-1 cycles. This test of the entrepreneurial profile, created by the Spanish Confederation of Associations of Young Entrepreneurs (CEAJE), was applied with the objective of carrying out a comparative analysis between both cycles of university students in the careers of Bioengineering, Industrial Engineering and Mechatronics Engineering, from the assumption that not many students from public universities are interested in carrying out entrepreneurship projects (Westhead and Solesvik, 2016). The sample for convenience was composed of 106 study subjects. The analysis and statistical processing were carried out with support of SPSS 17.0; for the hypothesis test using, the Friedman test was used. The results indicate no significant differences in entrepreneurial competencies between students of both cycles. And as part of the conclusions, the little research oriented towards the role played by the institutions of higher education in the promotion and motivation towards the students to undertake business ideas that detonate in new companies is highlighted.
