Abstract
The construct validation of the Life Ethical Project Instrument was carried out from the Socioformative approach, to a sample population of 450 engineering and architecture students. The process included the verification of the construct validity of the theoretical model by means of exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis, as well as reliability of the instrument by the coefficient of Cronbach's alpha in the internal structure; it is structured in nine dimensions: clear purposes of life, human talent, values, industriousness, self-care, social commitment, environment, collaborative work and co-creation of knowledge; a total variance of 75.02%, and Cronbach's alpha of .94. The new construct guides students in the improvement of their ethical life project taking into account various actions in each of the dimensions presented, in order to build and deepen their ethical actions in the personal and professional realization.
