This paper proposes the use of the Lego ® Serious Play ® (LSP) methodology as a facilitating tool for the introduction of competences for Industrial Risk Prevention by engineering students from the industrial branch (electrical, electronic, mechanical and technological engineering), presenting the results obtained in the Universities of Cadiz and Seville in the academic years 2017-2019. Current Spanish legislation does not reserve any special legal attribution, nor does it require specific competence in occupational risk prevention for the regulated profession of a technical industrial engineer (Order CIN 351:2009), and only does so in a generic way for that of an industrial engineer (Order CIN 311:2009). However, these universities consider the training in occupational health and safety for these future graduates as an essential objective in order to develop them for their careers in the industry. The approach is based on a series of challenges proposed (risk assessments, safety inspections, accident investigations and fire protection measures, among others), thanks to the use of "gamification" dynamics with Lego ® Serious Play ® . In order to carry the training out, a set of specific variables (industrial sector, legal and regulatory framework, business organization and production system), and transversal ones (leadership, teamwork, critical thinking and communication), are incorporated. Through group models, it is possible to identify dangerous situations, establish causes, share and discuss alternative proposals and analyze the economic, environmental and organizational impact of the technical solutions studied, as well as take the appropriate decisions, in a creative, stimulating, inclusive and innovative context. In this way, the theoretical knowledge which is acquired is applied to improve safety and health at work and foster the prevention of occupational risks, promoting the commitment, effort, motivation and proactive participation of the student teams.On the other hand, the advance of technology and its social implications, particularly in terms of the environment and health and safety, generates in academia the need to significantly rethink the way in which knowledge is generated, acquired, shared, capitalized on, transferred and applied. In order to do this, there is a need to develop activities that improve the processes to achieve a higher level of quality and sustainability, and to train highly qualified future professionals [6].In Spain, the list of competences that graduates must acquire after completing their university education, with a view to entering the labor market, is set out in the verified programs of university degrees. These are based on the Blank Books of the National Agency for Quality Assessment and Accreditation (ANECA) [7] and the Royal Decree 861/2010 [8], which ensure the basic competences contained in the Spanish Framework of Qualifications for Higher Education (MECES) regulated by the Royal Decree 1027/2011 [9].In Europe, educational policies, following the implementation of...
