Abstract
This work presents a diagnosis of the extent of scientific reasoning of five groups of freshmen in engineering, through the application of Lawson’s classroom test of scientific reasoning. The Force Concept Inventory was applied to assess their level of conceptual knowledge in mechanics. The application of Force Concept Inventory showed low percentages of correct answers in all subjects, especially those related to Newton's Second Law. Also, the scores of the selection test EXANI-II implemented by the National Center for Higher Education Assessment in Mexico were analyzed. In this case, the scores obtained in the mathematical logic reasoning index and the scores of the physics test were also low.
