A diagnosis study of the subject Laboratory and Projects Workshop of the 4th, 5th, 8th and 9th semesters of the degree in Chemical Engineering taught at the Faculty of Highest Studies – Zaragoza of the UNAM is presented, based on the perception of the teaching staff, the graduated students and the companies that hire them, to realize the applicability of the contents of the subject by comparing them with the professional skills required by the labor market in the chemical industry, to support a proposal to update the subject in the different semesters, until completing the LTP of 9th level within a company. The research was carried out with a mixed approach and with a projective research model. To collect the data and integrate the information of this job, three instruments and an interview guide were developed and submitted to validation by expert judgment, these being mixed for each focus group (teaching staff with 10 years of experience, graduates with a maximum of 5 years of having completed the curriculum, companies that hire chemical engineers and a quality assurance manager who agreed to be interviewed). Likert scales with confidence levels from 0.77 to 0.935 were used for the surveys.
