This work describes the Project Based Learning (PBL) experience carried
out with engineering students in the field of steel structures design during the
academic year 2016-2017 at the Universitat Jaume I of Castellón de la Plana
(Spain). This experience is integrated in the Master of Science in Industrial
Engineering.
The experience consists of simulating the activity of a technical office
dedicated to the development of structural projects. A real situation
comprising the design and calculation of an industrial building for a
costumer is presented to the students. Some geometrical aspects according to
the customer desires and the industrial process to be set at the building are
specified. The students are organized in groups and have to work in a project
to develop a competitive solution to this real necessity within deadline.
Finally, a survey is conducted to evaluate both the impact of this experience
in the learning process and the students’ degree of satisfaction with respect
to this technique.
The results of the survey show that PBL promotes the technical training of
the students in this field and encourages the development of transversal
skills, enhancing, at the same time, their motivation. [-]
