The present study evaluated the economic, academic

in the northwest of México. A package of evaluation
composed by seven sections was administered to
participants: 1) socio-demographic data, 2) academic
path, 3) level of knowledge about the discipline, 4)
dominion of software, 5) general culture, 6) aptitude
for science and 7) reading comprehension in English
language. Results are discussed in comparison with
an equivalent sample with a similar curriculum in an
institution located in Mexico City.
