Summary:New trends in society lead to the need for changes in the academic curricula. The increased demand for software skills for Computer Engineering graduates has led to curriculum adjustments. This paper analyzes the relationship between hardware and software academic subjects in two higher education programs with a similar profile. The paper presents the results of a quantitative descriptive statistical study involving 59 students. The results of the study were used to modify the weight of hardware and software subjects. A questionnaire completed by students shows their opinion on some aspects of the academic subjects taken during their undergraduate studies.
