In Ecuador, community engagement processes are considered a substantive function of higher education; They are a fundamental part of the comprehensive education of students and allow them to approach problems in the community to which they belong, so that they can contribute with solutions based on the knowledge acquired. This paper analyzes the experience of a group of ten students who participated in training sessions for people enrolled in a training program on entrepreneurship skills, called "Entrepreneur 4.0", in the city of Machala, Ecuador. A qualitative methodological approach based on the case study was used, the data were collected through the application of a focus group in which the students participated and were asked open-ended questions around four moments in which they recognized having had some sensation about the acquired character: (a) previous emotions, (b) emotions exercising the teaching role, (c) emotions after the exercise of the teaching role and (d) evaluation of the experience. The results show that the students, as they faced the situation, evolved from negative emotions to positive ones, and that social interaction was very important in this process. It is recommended to replicate studies of this type in other bonding experiences in Ecuador, in order to try to build a generalizing feature that allows the design of strategies aimed at managing emotions in students.
