Popis: This Innovative Practice Category Work In Progress presents a singular experience of a cooperative education program in a Master Degree in Informatics Engineering in Spain, which is so far unique in the country at master level. This Master provides the students with the competences, attitudes and skills necessary to direct and carry out innovating projects in the area of information technology and communication in national and international companies. The usage of Problem Based Learning methodologies in different courses infers a decidedly practical-oriented nature to the program. This character has been reinforced introducing the co-op model, which involves companies in the overall learning process. The program started in 2015 and the first results are showing very encouraging in terms of students’ satisfaction with their education and the high competence level of these students from the companies’ perspective.
