Importance of laboratory work on the teach and learn process in engineering

This article shows the results of an investigation that was carried out at the National University of Juliaca (UNAJ), for which surveys were designed and carried out among applicants, students from regular basic education (EBR), university students and graduates of engineering programs, to determine the importance of practical work in the laboratory, in the teaching-learning processes during their training, as a result, the value of the importance of laboratory work in the different stages of the Student training is essential, where both applicants, students and graduates exceed 85% in favorable opinion, while only 1% consider it irrelevant or of little importance. In addition, one of the conclusions is reached where, it is affirmed that the work in the laboratory allows the improvement in terms of the interests and attitudes of the student, allowing him to discover the knowledge for himself. It also influences the development of teaching and learning in laboratories at the university level. In this sense, 67% of graduates consider the skills not developed at work in the laboratory will affect their professional performance, which is why it is concluded that there is a discreet compliance with the programmed laboratory practices due to the equipment, infrastructure and inadequate system established for the development of the subjects.
