This activity intends to create a sound recording archive with interview format, in order to disseminate the trajectory of great professors of the Spanish Industrial Engineers Faculties. It seeks to preserve and bring closer the professors experiences and the personality to the new generations, with a story told in first person. This work aims to show the this activity characteristics, presenting the interviewees profile, pointing out the most outstanding aspects of their interventions, carrying out an analysis of the broadcasted interviews and assessing their impact.
