This paper describes the impact of the Pyramid of Needs and the Octagon of Dimensions of Well-Being in promoting resilience based on self-awareness in engineering students. Resilience consists of students being able to focus on themselves and reflect on how their actions, thoughts, and emotions are or are not in line with their internal standards. Similarly, resilience promotes volition so that students can act based on what they understand and control their actions. In order to develop these skills, students identify the needs they neet to satisfy in their learning process throughout their major and classify them in their pyramid of needs. Students also identify difficult situations in daily life as a starting point for their reflection to determine possible solution alternatives that lead to satisfying their needs and facing difficult situations, to define their goals and objectives, and to establish actions that strengthen and give purpose or meaning to their lifes, thus activating their resilience. Students classify their actions in the Octagon of Dimensions of Well-Being. Finally, the Sphere of Resilience in Engineering Students is described, which integrates the foundations, importance, and actions for activating resilience in engineering students. The Pyramid of Needs, the Octagon of Dimensions of Well-Being, and the Sphere of Resilience are the product of the quantitative and qualitative analysis of the results of the implementation of the pedagogical intervention called "Strengthening of Love and Meaning of Life in Engineering Students Supported by Problem-Based Learning".
