Raising Awareness of the Chemical Engineering Degree among Future Spanish Students through Video

AbstractThis paper will analyze both the awareness Spanish students have of the new university degrees and the advantages presented by the use of audiovisual formats in giving these information. A two-part questionnaire and an audiovisual correspondent have been prepared for this analysis. The first phase appraised the recognition of the various degrees offered by the Universidad Autonoma de Madrid. We then presented a video prepared by ourselves focusing on what is a degree in Chemical Engineering. The last phase consisted in handing out a questionnaire to analyze the effectiveness of an audiovisual format in the dissemination of this information. The results seem to show that information presented in a conventional format does not allow students to grasp what their academic and professional future might be, whereas the use of an audiovisual format facilitates this process
