There are numerous studies that argue that self-regulation has a positive effect on academic performance. (Kitsantas & Zimmerman, 2003), found that students with high grades are more strategic to plan their goals, monitor their own progress, self-assess their performance and give high value to exams. The research consisted in analyzing the process of academic self-regulation in the students of the Civil Engineering, Engineering in Sciences and Systems and Industrial Engineering careers of the University Center of Oriente -Cunori-. The type of research is descriptive with a mixed approach, selecting 189 students of both sexes, 137 men and 52 women from the first, third, fifth, seventh and ninth semesters of engineering careers. It was found that the academic self-regulation, in the students of the engineering careers, are developed in a medium level, generally the students are satisfied with winning the courses with not very high scores, for what it takes more will and effort to obtain notes high It is also important to find a minimum population that does apply academic self-regulation in an outstanding way, because they have the interest, dedication and effort, the willpower to obtain high marks in the subjects. So we can say that, if there are self-regulated students in engineering careers, but it is a minimum population.
