AB - The School of Engineering at Universidad Europea de Madrid (UEM)
implemented, starting in the 2012–2013 period, a unified academic
model based on project-based learning as the methodology used
throughout the entire School. This model expects that every year, in
each grade, all the students should participate in a capstone project
integrating the contents and competencies of several courses. This
paper presents the academic context under which this experience has
been implemented, and a summary of the work done to design and
implement the Project-Based Engineering School at the UEM. The steps
followed, the structure used, some sample projects, as well as the
difficulties and benefits of implementing the programme are discussed
in this paper. The results are encouraging as students are more
motivated and the initial set objectives were accomplished.
