Resumen
[EN] This research studies the acquisition and improvement of specific cognitive, functional, and
social competencies of the students enrolled in a university module in which we applied Collaborative
Research Project (CRP) strategy. The module was Research Methodology for a master’s degree in
research in electrical engineering, electronics and industrial control given at the National Distance
Education University (UNED) in Spain. This practice was applied to a research project in which the
private sector was interested in. We have been aiming at increasing academia–industry interaction
while promoting active learning; both are principles advocated by the European Higher Education
Area (EHEA). Having applied this strategy, the module learning outcomes were evaluated following
the guideline standards set by the National Agency for Quality Assessment of Universities (ANECA)
of the Spanish Government. The results from this evaluation indicated that CRP, even when carried
out by using distance learning, has encouraged the students’ interest in both research and the module.
It has also fostered collaboration between students and lecturers while increasing their degree of
satisfaction. We highlight the difficulties in merging all the outcomes from the students’ research as
the main drawback.
