    • This paper gathers the research done from 2009 to 2014 in the context of a project consisting of several educationalinnovation projects carried out at the Technical University of Madrid (UPM) whose aim was to improve the socio-emotional competencies of its students and professors, in line with some requirements of the European Higher EducationArea such as ‘‘preparing students for life as active citizens in a democratic society; preparing students for their futurecareers and enabling their personal development’’. The promotion of these competencies in the engineering students canhelp them to optimize their academic achievement and to increase their competitiveness in the business world. Meanwhile,the socio-emotional developmentof the teachers canhelp themto createanatmosphere that supports studentlearning.Thetraining techniques (online, blended and face-to-face seminars, and Coaching processes) and the outcome researchmethods (ad-hoc surveys and tests, pre-post evaluation using Emotional Intelligence evaluation tests) used in the five-yearproject are presented in this manuscript, as well as the results obtained from the 451 students and 135 professors from sixengineering schools of the UPM who enrolled in the project. The benefits of these projects (a significant increase in thestudents’ emotional quotient and in the professors’ emotional skills have been achieved) and the sustainability of theiractivities (an emotional competencies development online classroom, accessible to the entire university community, hasbeen launched) are highly encouraging.
