Extracurricular activities play a key role in the competency development of university students in engineering. These endeavors, such as participating in competitions, engaging in multidisciplinary projects, integrating into professional societies, and collaborating with student associations, provide opportunities to apply theoretical knowledge they have gained in practical situations. This not only reinforces learning but also enables them to better understand how these concepts are used in the real world, fostering crucial soft skills such as communication, teamwork, problem-solving, and leadership, which complement hard skills acquired in the formal curriculum. Additionally, it gives them the chance to manage projects in a controlled environment, while also developing their decision-making skills under pressure. Furthermore, they establish a network of contacts, offering a forum for the exchange of ideas and future partnerships. This involvement increases motivation and commitment, renewing their interest in engineering and giving them a clearer perspective on their career paths.
