Ser administrador o ingeniero administrativo, ¿nuevas exigencias laborales y sociales?

The essay contributes to the discussion on the new offer of engineering careers in management areas in the technological higher education subsystem. From the documentary analysis, the background of these programs is discussed and a curricular comparison of these is made with the bachelor’s degree programs in Management, with wide social recognition by employers and society. It is concluded that there are no new needs in the labor field to justify the creation of this type of careers because, in curricular terms and in professional practice, they do not differ significantly with the traditional management program.
