N2 - This article presents the results of the multidisciplinary project 'Experiencia 360°' developed at the School of Computing Engineering of the Costa Rica Institute of Technology (TEC). This project was developed applying an action research methodology that used games as a tool for strengthening socio-emotional skills (soft skills) with students in their third year of a university baccalaureate program. The methodology developed and the results achieved are presented. This project constitutes a first approach to the construction of a specific strategy aiming at developing socio-emotional skills in students following the Computing Engineering program, so that the results obtained can become the input for the development of a systematic process of multidisciplinary and innovative work that promotes students' comprehensive education for their suitable professional incorporation in work environments.
