“…The results indicate a high level of student satisfaction and a very high improvement of their motivation in subjects, scoring 4.19/5. This is in line with other studies that point out the good perception and assimilation of students with PBL strategies in engineering learning (Belagra & Draoui, 2018;Ricaurte & Viloria, 2020). This type of project is very beneficial for fostering creativity (Wu & Wu, 2020), competence that is commonly neglected in engineering education.…”

Computer-aided design, manufacturing and engineering technologies (CAD/CAM/CAE) are a mainstay in today’s industry and therefore they should be an important part in the current training plan of the graduate engineers. However, their implementation in the university environment presents certain barriers that make it difficult. In this work, we study the feasibility of the teaching proposal of the management of this type of tools through a Project-Based Learning method in a distance learning environment. The methodology has been implemented transversally in two Master’s degree subjects related to advanced design and manufacturing and has been carried out thanks to the operation of the product lifecycle management platform software by virtual machines. The practice has given very good pedagogical results in the work of skills related to the field of industrial design and manufacturing. The virtual system has demonstrated high efficiency and students have shown a satisfactory evolution in their professional training.

“…Although faculty can certainly appreciate the challenges associated with race or gender, it is often unclear how to modify our classes to more effectively teach these groups of students. One approach that has been used quite effectively is to incorporate more active learning; this has been discussed in a number of excellent references 8,9 …”

“…One approach that has been used quite effectively is to incorporate more active learning; this has been discussed in a number of excellent references. 8,9 Godwin and Boudouris 10 recently discussed the importance of "motivation" within the context of teaching the introductory Materials and Energy Balances course in chemical engineering. Eccles and Wigfield 11 and Brown et al 12 reviewed the literature on motivation theories and found that this work could be conveniently categorized based on the following four principles:…”

“…De modo geral, alguns trabalhos indicam que aprender a pensar como engenheiros é o melhor desafio para estudantes de engenharia. E mais, pensar como um engenheiro é uma abordagem mental para a análise de problemas que considera os aspectos técnicos, econômicos e ambientais, permitindo "conceber, projetar, implementar e operar produtos, serviços, tecnologias, sistemas e soluções que melhoram a qualidade de vida" (Ricaurte & Viloria, 2020).…”

Aprendizagem Baseada em Problemas e Organizada em Projetos (POPBL) é uma metodologia ativa de ensino centrada no aluno, no qual a partir de um problema base, o aluno pesquisa os conteúdos relacionados ao problema e propõe um projeto, que constitui um produto final do processo de aprendizagem. Este projeto é resultado da resolução de uma situação problema criada para colocar o aluno de engenharia química em contato com problemas reais da profissão do engenheiro químico, relacionada com processo de separação de misturas, empregando as técnicas de transferência de massa como promotora dessa separação. Neste trabalho, os alunos foram motivados a investigar seus conhecimentos de engenharia para propor e simular um projeto sustentável, viável e com baixo custo para a purificação de água de um rio a partir de uma situação-problema. A partir de ensaios experimentais no leito construído e empacotado com a biomassa folha de goiabeira, foi possível calcular o tempo em que o leito fixo consegue operar na limpeza do efluente, bem como a capacidade máxima de adsorção desse corante na biomassa, que foi cerca de 20 g de corante/kg de biomassa, para os leitos operando em série. Em termos de aprendizado, os alunos relataram que o projeto possibilitou desenvolver outras habilidades além do conhecimento técnico da disciplina, como o trabalho em grupo, a proatividade, sociabilidade, empatia, habilidades de comunicação e expressão áudio-visual. Assim, acredita-se que o principal objetivo do projeto foi alcançado.
