In order to establish the digital skills of new students to engineering programs, a descriptive quantitative research was conducted based on the student's self-perception. A questionnaire based on the Matrix of Digital Abilities proposed by the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) was applied online. The sample consisted of 114 individuals, whose results indicate the existence of an average competence level in most of the evaluated dimensions. The results contrast with the academic uses, giving rise to a discussion about the need to incorporate pedagogical aspects capable of establish a bridge between the technological competences and the learning in virtual means.
