AB  - Community outreach projects for engineering students' learning are crucial in developing their skills and knowledge. Universities are committed to training engineering professionals to respond to social demands based on their abilities and knowledge acquired. On the other hand, it is known that currently, the interest in studying careers in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) areas is not as high as other specialty areas. So, it is crucial to generate instances that promote interest in these areas early in school. Our motivation is to propose a professional practice structure for Geology and Mining Engineering students to realize how they can impact society through their skills and knowledge acquired in college. It is also essential to evaluate the impact of this type of project in the community through stakeholders' opinions of children in K-12 school education. The participants were four undergraduate geology and mining engineering students who worked collaboratively to design and implement four workshops: 1) geomechanics; 2) paleontology; 3) ocean circulation and 4) mineralogy. Professors supervised university students from the geology, mining engineering, and STEM research education areas. The present is a qualitative study. With surveys and interviews, we describe motivations that prompted the university students to get involved in a Community Outreach Project; their experiences regarding the design and implementation of the workshops; the perceptions of their performance during the workshops, and the impact that the realization of this professional practice had on their engineering studies. In addition, we report the effect that STEM content workshops outside of traditional student/teacher classes had on stakeholders to support and increase understanding, awareness, and interest in STEM disciplines. Finally, we describe how these findings can inform the design and structure of professional practices focusing on Community Outreach Projects in engineering areas.
