En la Universidad Nacional de Ingeniería del Perú, dos cursos del noveno ciclo de Ingeniería Sanitaria —Tratamiento de Aguas Residuales y Abastecimiento de Agua— se han convertido en umbrales que determinan quién llega a graduarse y quién no. Impartidos por el mismo docente y marcados por calificaciones consistentemente bajas, estos cursos condensan una tensión antigua en la educación técnica: la línea difusa entre el rigor que forma ingenieros y el obstáculo que simplemente los detiene. Un estudiante que alzó la voz desde su canal de YouTube no solo describió una experiencia personal, sino qu

Sensationalism through student testimony: frames difficult courses as systemic 'filters' that exclude students, emphasizing struggle and repetition rates without presenting institutional perspective on course rigor or learning outcomes.

📈
UNI engineering program has two high-difficulty courses (Wastewater Treatment, Water Supply) acting as graduation gatekeepers, causing high failure rates and extended time-to-degree, potentially affecting Peru's engineering workforce pipeline.

Labor Market (Engineering Professionals)
Students face increased education costs through course repetition, delayed graduation, and extended time-to-employment. Households investing in engineering education experience reduced ROI and delayed income generation from graduates.
Ministry of Education may need to review curriculum design, teaching methodologies, and resource allocation at UNI. Consider whether gatekeeping courses adequately prepare engineers for labor market needs or if pedagogical improvements are required. May prompt discussion on engineering education quality standards and graduate competency requirements.
