Resumen
The current outlook and upward movement by the formation and continuing
education for the citizen. This upward movement is due to technological advances in
diverse areas of knowledge, globalization, and the need for greater supply of skilled
manpower, which require all persons to be well prepared to work and ensure its
place in a competitive market. It is noticed that the demand for access to higher
education continues to grow in the universities, which has sought to make a selection
more fair and, to prevent evasion of student. Because of this, IES seeking for the
future students has asked its candidates to fill out a questionnaire during the
sociocultural process of inscription to the entrance exam. Thus, the goal of this
investigation was to identify and test the sociocultural variables that determine the
selection of candidates for new engineering courses, made possible by the program
REUNI of the selection process UFSM held in May 2009. For data analysis was
performed an exploratory and descriptive study, using technique multivariate
statistics of multiple logistic regression. We obtained a sample of 535 candidates
were tested and 34 of their sociocultural variables database COPERVES. In this
study the dependent variable corresponds to the occurrence or not of the vestibular
selection. The adjusted model results indicate that only two predictor variables were
statistically significant (p <0.05) to determine the probability of selection of
candidates, which are: the university entry exams is already one or more times (b1 =
1.170) and has total monthly household income up to 5 times the minimum wage (b2
=.- 1.143).
