Abstract

This paper presents an example of implementation of a collaborative learning model in the subject of Theory of Structures and Industrial Constructions, with easy application to other areas of engineering. The objective pursued with this project is to obtain a positive exploitation of the student's work out of the classroom, besides looking for the interaction between the students to achieve common learning goals. Throughout the development of the course, the students have carried out a series of workshops, in which they have proposed statements of problems related to the Subject.
