An investigation was developed with the aim of elucidating the research processes that students follow at different educational levels to develop engineering projects within the Feria Nacional de Ciencias e Ingenierías de Coahuila, with the database used by the Consejo Estatal de Ciencia y Tecnología de Coahuila (COECyT), which consists of 135 projects from which 311 cases were obtained, evaluated by 62 expert researchers designated by the COECyT. Given that the evaluation formats were in Likert-type scales, they were transformed to a standardized centesimal scale and analyzed with statistics of central tendency, dispersion, correlation and discriminant analysis. The conclusion indicates that the development of student projects has original processes that are not subject to a strict methodology, rather, students develop their projects with the help of teachers proposing and developing solutions step by step, in each stage of the investigation, except in the formal requirements of the contest. We can also affirm that the projects have an average methodological identity of 50% in each educational level, according to the discriminant analysis.
