TORRES, José D; ACEVEDO, Diofanor  y  MONTERO, Piedad M. Term Classroom Projects as Pedagogical Strategy for Engineering Education. Form. Univ. [online]. 2016, vol.9, n.3, pp.23-30. ISSN 0718-5006.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0718-50062016000300004.

The objective of this study was to analyze the use of term classroom projects as a strategy for vocational formation of engineering students. A course of 20 students, with subgroups of two or three persons was assigned the development of a classroom project during the whole semester. The instructor acted as an advisor and the evaluation was conducted through written and oral tests. A questionnaire was applied to verify the perception of the students on the new educational strategy. The analysis of the results showed that the methodology was important for student learning because it encouraged self-learning, creativity and solving real problems. The implementation of term classrooms projects is a viable option for further training of engineering students.
