Theresults with the greatest impact were: the students do not know about undertakings carried out in the faculty, the teachers do not motivate to generate innovations, the knowledge imparted is not in accordance with the needs of the sector and the close relationship that exists between the ventures and the competences is perceived cognitive factors in an average of 0.545 according to the Pearson correlation coefficient. It has been suggested an administrative management model based on cognitive skills that contribute to increase the rate of innovative endeavors in the faculty by students.
