Peruvian students in pandemic: Digital gap and what is done from engineering programs?

This article addresses the situation of students in the current crisis about coronavirus pandemic, in which they have had to migrate from face-to-face academic processes to virtual or assisted academic processes from digital approach. In this sense, the study explores a series of variables on the new ways of developing the teaching-learning process and identifies the pedagogical, methodological, digital and infrastructure gaps that limit the academic process under the new conditions. In the same way, a comparison is carried out with engineering students, identifying their specificities according to the general characteristics. The research ends with a discussion about the role of technology in engineering education.
