Impacto de las prácticas de servicio comunitario en el desarrollo de competencias blandas

Abstract

At the Salesian Polytechnic University, we investigated how community service activities influence the development of non-technical skills in automotive engineering students. To assess competencies such as communication, teamwork, leadership and empathy, combined methods of literature review, surveys and data analysis with SPSS and AMOS were used. The analysis showed significant improvements in soft competencies. It is concluded that community service is crucial for students' professional and personal development.
