Resumen

This article addresses the situation of students in the current crisis about coronavirus pandemic, in which they have had to migrate from face-to-face academic processes to virtual or assisted academic processes from digital approach. In this sense, the study explores a series of variables on the new ways of developing the teaching-learning process and identifies the pedagogical, methodological, digital and infrastructure gaps that limit the academic process under the new conditions. In the same way, a comparison is carried out with engineering students, identifying their specificities according to the general characteristics. The research ends with a discussion about the role of technology in engineering education.
