Psychological well-being enables individuals to cope with difficult, complex, and stressful situations, making it particularly important for university students, especially those in demanding and rigorous fields. Without these psychological support mechanisms, students may become trapped in negative thought patterns, obsessing over unresolved negative experiences. Therefore, the main objective of this study was to examine the relationship between psychological well-being and rumination among university students. This quantitative, correlational, and non-experimental study included a total of 131 university students from engineering programs enrolled in virtual learning. The findings revealed a significant negative correlation between psychological well-being and rumination, a pattern observed across all dimensions of well-being except for personal growth and purpose in life. Regarding sociodemographic characteristics, it was found that individuals aged 31 to 40 and female students scored higher in rumination; however, they also stood out with higher psychological well-being scores compared to younger students and male students, respectively. Additionally, university students who only dedicate themselves to studying have a higher score in psychological well-being as opposed to those who work and study, as the latter group exhibited higher levels of rumination. Finally, industrial engineering students demonstrated the highest levels of psychological well-being. These findings provide valuable insights into the current landscape of online education for future engineers.

The present study demonstrates the experience of the effect of an integrative course, applied to university students, based on experiential learning and collaboration with real companies, in strengthening fundamental skills in university students. Through a combined method, pre- and post-questionnaires were implemented to assess the change in participants' perceptions. The numerical findings, achieved through the Student's t-test, demonstrate notable advances in aspects such as concept comprehension, problem-solving, professional communication, and the use of methodological instruments. Additionally, the qualitative study of the open-ended responses highlights the importance of renewing the syllabus, increasing methodological adaptability, and improving the course infrastructure. The findings indicate that the incorporation of active techniques and the presence in authentic business environments promote relevant learning and the professional training of students. Ultimately, the study's limitations are analyzed and improvements for future course applications are suggested.

The European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) is a university management mechanism that allows the student and academic mobility. Said system originates from the Bologna declaration signed in 1999 which allowed the European degrees flexibility, in the present 25 year later being launched, it manifests important results associated to educational development and expanded the beneficiaries’ experience. In such manner, this bibliometric analysis objective is to explore the scientific production availability about the ECTS. Methods. A quantitative analysis was applied utilizing the bibliometric review technique, with which 114 articles from the Scopus database, written in the last twenty-five years, were identified, for which inclusion and exclusion criteria were considered. The data were analyzed using VOSViewer software; through this, the theoretical clusters and their components were identified: the volume of links, strength and occurrence. Results. Spain and England are the countries with the highest production of articles indexed in Scopus on the topic studied, with 44%; and in the fields of Social Sciences and Medicine, 49% stands out. The network of items by clusters shows that three categories underlie: development (192/27), level (177/27) and research (190/25). The first has a greater strength of relationship and occurrence, which reveals a favorable trend. Conclusion. The system in question constitutes a model to follow due to its impact on academic flexibility, which translates into development and a new academic culture.

This SLR proposed as an objective to know the relationship of online video games with mental health and academic performance of university students, for the search of information was used two databases Scopus and WoS, between 2020 and 2024, selected 46 articles using the PRISMA and PIO, a bibliometric analysis was performed using the VOSviewer tools to obtain a deeper insight into the research and Bibliometrix to represent more relevant sources and most cited documents worldwide, used quantitative and qualitative methods with a triple triangulation approach for literature review, structural equation modeling, correlation analysis, multilevel mixed models to examine the relationship between personality traits and partial least squares, the results evidence the negative impact on mental health associated with psychological problems similar to short video addiction, higher levels of anxiety and depression above moderate level of 26. 07% and 23.32%, having negative impact on academic performance, in conclusion there is a very significant and negative risk factor among online video games, deteriorating their mental health, increased levels of anxiety and depression affecting the emotional stability of college students, creating a vicious circle harming their academic performance

The perception of personal growth during university studies fosters the development of skills and competencies essential for future professionals. While universities play a crucial role in expanding knowledge within a given discipline, it is equally important to consider soft skills, such as emotional regulation, as part of students' holistic education. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the relationship between personal growth and emotional regulation in engineering students. The research followed a quantitative approach with a correlational scope and a non-experimental design. The final sample consisted of 225 engineering students from Lima, Peru. The results revealed a strong, positive, and significant correlation between personal growth and the cognitive reappraisal strategy; however, personal growth was negatively associated with emotional suppression. Additionally, students aged 31 to 40 and women scored higher in both personal growth and cognitive reappraisal, whereas men exhibited higher levels of emotional suppression. Students who balance work and study, as well as those enrolled in virtual programs, reported higher levels of personal growth. In contrast, students in face-to-face programs scored higher in cognitive reappraisal. The findings highlight the importance of personal growth and provide insights into the current state of university training for future engineers.

Abstract – Irregular migration of children and adolescents in Honduras represents a multidimensional problem with significant impacts on education, social stability and child protection. This pre-feasibility study examines the requirements for the development of a computer system aimed at the registration, monitoring and school reintegration of migrant minors, addressing its implications from the formulation of the project, its social impact and risk management. A quantitative and causal methodological approach was applied, using surveys, documentary analysis and direct observations to evaluate the technical and operational viability of the system. The findings indicate that the lack of a unified information system aggravates educational exclusion and limits the effectiveness of prevention strategies. In addition, economic, administrative and social barriers are identified that make the reintegration of minors into the educational system difficult. The implementation of a digital platform would optimize data collection and management, facilitating coordination between government and educational institutions and cooperation organizations. This study demonstrates the need for innovative technological tools to improve educational management in highly vulnerable contexts, aligning with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and reinforcing protection policies for migrant children. The results demonstrate that a structured technological solution can improve educational continuity, facilitate institutional coordination and support child protection policy formulation processes [1]
