The need to have research professors to lead final projects demands a large team available for tutorials. This paper presents a management model for undergraduate final projects in the field of computer engineering research at the Universidad Politécnica Salesiana, Guayaquil, Ecuador. The model seeks to interconnect the follow-up of the Degree Unit with the academic support and related research groups. An empirical-analytical, quantitative and longitudinal methodology is used, with an average participation of 90 students in their last semester per academic period. The data come from the institutional repository DSpace and the university’s PURE Research repository. The proposed model consists of two phases of work and defined stages for management. As of October 2023, the Computer Engineering program has generated 451 undergraduate papers and 317 research products. It is concluded that a collaborative management model between students, professors and the degree unit effectively faces the challenges of degree completion, with a predominant focus on Engineering Sciences (47%) and Education (17%).
