Résumé

Academic Engagement is a variable of interest in higher education due to its contribution to learning and academic achievement, and its inverse relationship with regard to alienation and abandonment of studies. The objectives of the present work were a) to adapt the University Student Engagement Inventory for its use in Chilean engineering students and b) to evaluate the psychometric properties of the instrument in this population. The study included 774 engineering students belonging to 14 disciplinary areas. A linguistic and cultural adaptation of the instrument to the Chilean context was made. First and second order models were evaluated, as well as a bi-factor model, in addition to Criterion Validity. Evidence supporting a onedimensional structure was observed in this instrument. From these results it is possible to conclude the utility of the instrument in the study population.
