As reported by many professional bodies responsible for accrediting engineering programs,
today’s engineering graduates present important limitations in the practice of engineering
because current engineering curricula is still too focused on fundamental engineering science
without providing sufficient integration to industrial practice. To overcome these limitations,
active learning approaches have been applied in the literature with positive results in
engagement, motivation and student’s performance. In this paper, we propose a project based
learning approach with real manufacturing activities in a 4-year mechanical course to improve
the learning process. The goal of the project is to plan the manufacturing process of a real part
and conduct at shop-floor levels all the activities required. The experience was evaluated
considering project/exam grades, questionnaires and manufacturing quality. The results
showed an increase in student’s satisfaction, improvement in the exam performance, and a
clearly increase in student’s enrolment in the manufacturing master degree. [-]
