The objective of this article is to determine if the self-perception of professional competences has been affected, in systems engineering students, during the health emergency declared in Peru by Covid-19; The results will allow the public university of Peru to make corrective decisions and formulate proposals to improve the functioning of the variable under study. Initially, the comparative analysis was carried out, where it is observed that in the academic semester 2020-I (during the health emergency), there is a greater number of students who present a better self-perception of the 10 indicators of the professional skills dimension, compared to the semester 2019-II (before the health emergency). Likewise, the indicators “To solve problems and cases of the specialty” and “To master practical professional skills” present a higher rate of improvement in self-perception, of 8.14% and 10.37%, respectively. Finally, when carrying out the statistically validation of the association of the two mentioned indicators, using the contingency table, it is observed, by the Chi-square statistic, a significance (bilateral) lower than α = 0.05, with this, it is verified , the significant association of the indicators; This is supported by the percentage obtained in the contingency table, where it is shown that 90.6% of the systems engineering students in the 2019-II semester and 95.5% of the students in the 2020-I semester , who are satisfied with the indicator “To master practical professional skills”, have experienced a positive impact with the indicator “To solve problems and cases of the specialty”.
