Participation: Students in the Second and Third Year of the Bachelor's degree and Master's degree students enrolled in the Management Engineering program. The number of participants for each course is limited to 80 students.

Format: The course includes frontal lectures that introduce participants to the various aspects of learning and the skills to be enhanced to make it effective; group meetings for experiential learning (this will be made possible through the formation of work groups with a maximum of 10 participants); and individual and group work to be carried out at home through weekly assignments related to the topics covered in the lectures. The introduction of Mindfulness meditative practice is planned, which aims to increase self-regulation capabilities in attention, emotions, and metacognition. Furthermore, the groups will be facilitated with a coaching approach aimed at promoting self-regulation in studying, oriented towards academic goals.
