Abstract
The objective of this quantitative study was to identify the most used social skills by engineering students during their stay in the company to meet the training needs. The sample chosen through a non-random sampling consisted of 82 participants, 18 students (30%) of Engineering Technologies for Automation (ITA) and 41 (70%) of the Bachelor of Business Innovation and Marketing (LIN) of the Universidad Tecnológica del Sur de Sonora (UTS), and 9 students (40%) from ITA and 14 students (60%) from LIN, from the Universidad Tecnológica de Nezahualcóyotl (UTNEZA) aged between 21 and 33 years. Goldstein's Social Skills instrument (1989) was applied. The data was analyzed with the statistical program SPSS 23. The results showed that the social skills most used by the students of both institutions are those of planning, followed by the advanced ones, and the least used are those related to feelings and stress management. The rest report frequent use. It concludes with the proposal to design a program that allows promoting and developing social skills, among administrative and teaching staff through manuals and making a wide dissemination of these.
