Se analizan las actitudes de 108 estudiantes de ingeniería hacia las prácticas de modelización en el laboratorio de Automática. Se aplicaron dos cuestionarios tipo Likert, uno sobre percepciones y creencias, y otro sobre emociones asociadas a dichas prácticas. Los resultados muestran una valoración generalmente positiva, especialmente en la percepción de logro de aprendizaje, aunque se identifican limitaciones en la utilidad percibida, la retroalimentación individualizada y el trabajo cooperativo. La autoeficacia presenta niveles moderados y las emociones positivas predominan, aunque algunas como la sorpresa y el entusiasmo son mejorables. Las diferencias de género fueron leves, si bien apuntan a la necesidad de fortalecer el apoyo emocional y la mentoría a las mujeres. En conjunto, el estudio evidencia una experiencia formativa satisfactoria, pero con un margen claro de mejora en la cooperación, el acompañamiento docente y la conexión práctica de los contenidos.
