This work is part of the experience of tracking graduates and curriculum evaluation, derived from an international accreditation process conducted by the European agency AQU Catalunya University Center South Coast (South Coast CU) at the University of Guadalajara. Because of this, we conducted a Follow-up Study, which included generic skills (PROFLEX, 2010) of graduates demanded from the labor market, complemented by the Study of Employers who evaluated the same competency. In this study, generic skills in graduates of Career Engineer Works and Services are analyzed, contrasting perceptions of graduates and employers. The methodology is described and a method for the comparative analysis is proposed, the results and their implications for curriculum design career competencies are discussed.
