AB Analysis of social networks may be a useful tool for understanding the relationship betweenresilience and engagement, and this could be applied to educational methodologies, not only toimprove academic performance, but also to create emotionally sustainable networks. This descriptivestudy was carried out on 134 university students. We collected the network structural variables,degree of resilience (CD-RISC 10), and engagement (UWES-S). The computer programs used wereexcel, UCINET for network analysis, and SPSS for statistical analysis. The analysis revealed results ofmeans of 28.61 for resilience, 2.98 for absorption, 4.82 for dedication, and 3.13 for vigour. The studentshad two preferred places for sharing information: the classroom and WhatsApp. The greater thevalue for engagement, the greater the degree of centrality in the friendship network among studentswho are beginning their university studies. This relationship becomes reversed as the students moveto later academic years. In terms of resilience, the highest values correspond to greater centralityin the friendship networks. The variables of engagement and resilience influenced the universitystudents’ support networks.
