Abstract
The present research was conducted at the Southwest Technological University of Guanajuato (UTSOE), a public university with in-person classes. It focused on the impact of distance education resulting from the COVID19 contingency, during which face to face classes were suspended at all levels. Surveys were administered to eighth and eleventh- semester groups during the corresponding period of January - April 2021, from the food processing engineering program. The research investigated the effectiveness and efficiency of the adopted Virtual Teaching-Learning Environments. The data collected were coded and analyzed using Excel 2016 and IBM SPSS Statistics V21, through descriptive analysis. The study revealed that students' motivation has significantly decreased since the beginning of the pandemic, with a majority experiencing at least one disorder, and 48.6% being at risk of dropping out. Therefore, it is concluded that, despite the university's appropriate measures to handle the new modality, students have been significantly affected, especially in psychological and emotional aspects.
