| Diğer Bilgiler: | School dropout and academic delay are crucial phenomena to analyze in higher education. This article presents an exploratory analysis of these issues in the Bachelor's Degree in Civil Engineering program at the University of Costa Rica (UCR), using a theoretical-practical approach based on the analysis of official student statistics extracted from various UCR databases. The analysis is complemented by a brief survey of graduates from the past 10 years. The findings show that there are several points throughout the curriculum that cause significant delays, particularly at the beginning and towards the end of the program. The study also highlights the importance of conducting further research to clarify the causes of academic delays and how they affect the quality of education. |
