Abstract
The implementation of the PBL methodology (Problem or Project Based Learning) in Project Management courses in an engineering degree is analyzed. The PBL methodology that includes new information and communication technologies (ICT), allows updating the learning of the students approaching them to their future professional work. The study-case analyzed is the course �Projects� given for the Industrial Engineering degree of the Higher Polytechnic School of Engineering of Gijón (EPSIG), which belongs to the University of Oviedo in Spain. The results obtained are analyzed according to contributions by both the teaching staff and the students. The PBL methodology is found to be very appropriate for the learning of engineering competences, but it demands a precise definition of objectives and a detailed planning, as well as continuous monitoring and evaluation by the lecturer
