• Resumen

  • How is social responsibility being applied at the University and what are the steps and experiences carried out in this field? Thisarticle shows a service-learning experience carried out in the Industrial Design and Product Development Engineering Degree atJaume I University (Castello ́n de la Plana) during the academic year 2017/18. In this experience, two subjects in the second year ofthe degree were involved: Conceptual Design (in the first semester) and Materials II (during the second one). Moreover, students’final works, as well as professors’ and students’ assessments, are collected and presented. Results show that although the experienceis complex and requires great abilities for coordination between professors, these experiences help boosting the implementation anddevelopment of complex projects, committed to promoters, which achieve positive assessments and results.
