Abstract:
Currently in university education methodological strategies are introduced that involve modifications of traditional teaching in order to achieve the competences linked to the different subjects are composed of the degree. The design of the activities to be introduced in the teaching planning to achieve the learning outcomes sometimes depends on the subject in which the professors want to be trained and also on level to be achieved in the degree.

Learning enables a student to perform actions such as: remembering data or facts, understanding concepts, explaining facts, reasoning, arguing, understanding, applying knowledge in solving practical or theoretical problems or making judgments; which they subsequently use in the performance of their profession. The learning outcomes of university education systems are used to recognize the qualifications of professionals.

With a training model in higher education centered on the student, it is important that the professor devise activities that are not focused on what the professor teaches, but on what the student is capable of understanding upon successful completion of the learning process. In this sense, the following work is proposed, developed within the framework of a project to promote entrepreneurial culture. The experience is based on the interaction of an entrepreneur in the field of renewable energies who shows how one of the topics dealt with in the subject can be the germ of a business idea.

The initiative has had a positive effect on the students since they have connected theory with practical application and the realization of a technical project based on the subject in question. This shows that the proposed methodological initiative not only meets teaching expectations but also motives them in a more flexible and effective training for the students involved. In addition, it has opened up enormous possibilities for students within the framework of university - business collaboration on the part of the entrepreneur involved in the activity Some of the possible scenarios in which to integrate students would be company internships, extracurricular internships or the completion of a master's thesis supervised by both parts.
