Sumario:The Distsem method (Vivas, 2004; Vivas, 2008) constitutes a specific procedure of semantic memory assessment based on the use of Social Network Analysis to the analysis of semantic distance between concepts. It has been suggested that it is especially adequate for the evaluation of the semantic organization in strongly conceptual academic contents (Vivas, 2008a; Vivas, J., Huapaya, C., Lizarralde, F., Arona, G., Comesaña, A, Vivas, L., García Coni, A., 2009). This communication shows the results of its application on contents that combine the utilization of semantic and procedural memory. Furthermore, there are analyzed the scope and limitations of this tool as a complementary method of assessment in Engineering career courses.
