This work is evaluating learning concepts and descriptive statistical procedures through the strategy based on projects. Appropriating the analysis guide of the component of didactic suitability, the levels reached on descriptive statistics were examined by a group of 125 engineering students. The learning results indicate that an important group of students managed to apply the descriptive statistics procedures correctly and use the computer resources in the information analysis. However, there were difficulties in the declaration of objectives, tabulation data in one and two variables, reaching the lowest level reading and interpretation of graphs, relating statistical measures, and determining relationships between variables. The methodology used increased the motivation, autonomy and application of strategies in the analysis of the data for the solution of real situations.
