Abstract
This paper presents a study of graduates to assess the relevance and quality of the educational program of environmental biochemical engineer career at the Autonomous University of Campeche, using the instrument of collection of information proposed by the National Association of Universities and Institutions of Higher Education, which was designed to measure the relevance and quality of the educational institutions in contrast with some adaptations suited to the context of your application. For this purpose, we considered 51 students graduated from five generations (2004-2009). The results show that 64% of the graduates have a remunerated activity in the labour market, being the highest percentages of office managers, supervisors and Government officials; 46.2% say that there is a total coincidence of their work with their studies of Bachelor's degree, however, 51.9% stated that not working in their field of study. This percentage speaks of the need to redesign the curriculum that is considered a relevant educational program and quality. Such monitoring of graduates is considered under the category "linkage-extension" by the accrediting Committee of this educational program, the CACEB.
