Project Based learning applied to bachelors degree in energy engineering

Abstract

[EN] The standards and guidelines for quality assurance in the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) lay down that one of the keys to combining learners knowledge and skills is the implementation of new student-centred active competence-based teaching methodologies. One of the most widely used and effective of these methodologies is Project Based Learning (PBL). Although a significant number of these initiatives have been carried out in recent decades, in most cases they are limited to implementing individual subjects with few applications to the degree curriculum. In this context, the main goal of this work was to develop a project-based learning system in two subjects of the Bachelor s Degree in Energy Engineering at the Universitat Politècnica de València. The problem is analysed from a practical point of view, using theoretical concepts in the subject of Statistics and their subsequent implementation in the subject "Energy and Sustainable Development". The developed methodology is described, together with the coordination between these two subjects, the results achieved and the initial conclusions obtained
