Abstract

A set of outreach initiatives implemented at the School of Industrial and Telecommunications Engineering of the Public University of Navarre is described. During the six academic years where these initiatives have been carried out, a 10% increase in the intake of engineering students has been observed, which is even more valuable considering the global decrease of new students in the region during this period. Feedback from students evidences that the activities carried out improve knowledge about the degrees offered and motivation towards engineering studies, specially the onsite workshops programmed at high schools and the open-door day.
