Reintegro y permanencia universitaria en Bogotá : el caso de la Facultad de Ingeniería de la Universidad Distrital, 2000-2009

El presente trabajo de investigación, estudia a través del caso de la cohorte del 2000 de la Facultad de Ingeniería de la Universidad Distrital, el tipo de coyuntura que le permitió a este grupo de jóvenes reingresar a la Universidad y culminar la carrera al haber tenido que abandonarla en un primer momento, por problemas socio-económicos y/o académicos.
