To overcome the ruptures of the educational model that influence the desertion in the university education system, we agreed to carry out an intervention by enrolling the indigenous and Afro-Colombian students admitted in 2006-II to the different engineering programs offered by the Universidad del Valle in the courses of calculation. The experience is given as an investigation-intervention process that was designed and implemented with the objective of providing an opportunity, real and not only legal to the students who enter the engineering plans due to ethnic exception condition, to access the knowledge scientific and technological aspects of the university.
