Engineering and ICT graduates per 100,000 people, ANUIES yearbook 2025-2026, with the counts behind each rate

A rate shows one year’s graduates against a state’s size; the count shows how many graduated that year. Graduates often move: a state that trains engineers is not always where they work.

What is absent, and why: graduate degrees (specialty, master’s, doctorate) and teacher-training colleges are left out; career by career (mechatronics, industrial, electrical) is in the yearbook but not drawn here; where graduates go to work, and their English, are not measured by this source. Vocational high-school technicians (CONALEP and the like) are not in a higher-education count.
