In Facultad de Ingeniería (FIng) of Universidad de la República-Uruguay, the problems that are a result of the massiveness and the low pre-university academic level diagnosed, are some of the causes of failure in initial courses. However, variables such as study strategies, the choice of courses to be taken, and time management have a significant impact on student performance in the first year courses of the different careers of FIng. In this context, FIng has been developing different activities with the aim of improving the situation of students. This paper presents one of these activities: the Workshop on Initiation to Strategic Planning (TIPE), which is aimed at the new students and the ones who are taking one of the courses of the first semester of their career. This workshop aims to introduce students to the subject of strategic planning, in an explicit and very practical way, taking as a case of study the analysis of the first semesters of the curricular trajectory of their careers. In this article we describe TIPE and analyze the first results of the experience developed in 2017.
