Experiential Learning: Impacts on the Relational and Support Skills of Higher Education Students in Engineering and Science

Abstract

This study presents an educational innovation project with a professional and personal diagnosis of the skills of engineering and science students to transmit their knowledge to people outside their area through experiential learning in a virtual format. Self-knowledge and the ability to motivate the audience of each student were evaluated through surveys applied before and after their experience, allowing them to perform a self-assessment, an outstanding result to see. The outcome fulfilled the overall research objective, and the students were made aware of their interpersonal skills, allowing them to improve their personal and professional competencies for life.
