Abstract:

One of the characteristics of the university student is to be competitive due to the dynamic environment in which he operates daily. In order to analyze competitiveness, a simulation was carried out, in which participated students of Mechanical Engineering and Business Administration. For this purpose, the experimental design was applied, in which a comparative analysis was carried out between two different scenarios, with and without communication of the following variables: gender, career, mobility (local-visitor). The data were analyzed with the statistical software R, whose results allowed to observe that the students are more competitive in their respective place of study; however, it was noted that administration students related to mechanical students are more competitive when they haven´t communication. In addition, it was found that male students unlike women are more competitive when they participate like as visitor and maintain communication.
