In this paper, a simulation of enlisting and use of free practicum courses for engineering students from Instituto Tecnológico Metropolitano (ITM) is presented. Currently, this university is interested in getting better results to rank more competitively among other universities. Although the current courses are free, a high quality offer is evidently more expensive and we need to maximize the impact of the students in the labor market. In Colombia, many universities certify engineering
