Abstract
Computer systems engineering discipline is a broad field of research because it is a new and multidisciplinary career. However, there is a latent problem: the dropout rate. In the January-April 2013-2015 period at the Universidad Politecnica Metropolitana de Puebla60% of dropouts were registered; To find the causes of this problem, several variables were measured: Economic factors, failing rate and study plan. Because desertion factors can be multifactorial, an instrument was applied that allowed to know the causes of the desertion. To be able to help all those involved in this situation. The results were obtained with the data obtained from the survey applied to 11 deserters, all of this is shown in the graphs that allowed a better understanding of the collected information.
