Generative artificial intelligence offers new possibilities to strengthen learning in higher education. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of the use of ChatGPT in incoming students of an engineering faculty in a public university in Lima, Peru, during 2024. The research was applied, with a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design. A total of 236 students participated, who were administered an initial questionnaire to determine their familiarity with ChatGPT. Subsequently, a workshop on generative artificial intelligence was developed, addressing LLMs, wildcards and academic search techniques. The results showed that, although the students already had previous knowledge of the tool, after the intervention there was a significant increase in its use, especially in academic activities. It is concluded that training in the use of ChatGPT improves the information skills of students in the first university cycles.
