“…According to the soft skills (Figure 6), autonomous learning, planning and time management, the application of theoretical knowledge in practice, and teamwork stand out. The answers reaffirm the conclusions obtained by Mat et al [51]. Taking the general characteristics of CBL as a reference, the most voted options are intrinsic properties of this methodology, which show their correct integration in the competition.…”

“…Chang and Du [50] present a mechanical engineering competition that stimulates students' enthusiasm for learning. The study by Mat et al [51] observes a positive attitude towards technical knowledge, as well as working on the so-called "soft skills" such as teamwork and communication. Ediger [52] argues that cooperative goals make students better assume their responsibilities for the benefit of the team.…”

The transition from academic training to professional life is not an easy task. In recent years, various learning enhancement methodologies have emerged to reduce this gap, which focuses on both soft and technical skills. Specifically, Competition-Based Learning (CBL) seeks to improve learning and motivation through the competitive component, which has detractors and defenders. In this framework, the present work proposes a national competition, CIC2022, within the field of control engineering that uses a testbed with an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) for helping to link theory and practice. The main objective is to analyze the results of CBL on learning. In addition to explaining the characteristics of the competition and the academic results obtained, a survey answered by participants provides conclusions on the effectiveness of the methodology and other issues related to the contest. Greater motivation and teamwork promoted the active learning of students and improved the autonomous acquisition of technical skills.
