This article present a college course experience taught in second year of Mechanical Engineering program, ‘Strength of Materials’ a course of 6 ECTS points. With the aim to improve the learning process, to develop competences and skills and to create opportunities for interaction between students and between student and lecturers, several active learning strategies have been set up in the course. Several actions have been introduced in our lectures, making use of different teaching methodologies: master class, active learning (AL) and problem based learning (PBL). The actions introduced in the practical lectures are focused in program specific and professional competences related to the academic discipline, but also want to train core and cross-cultural competences such as management of information, team work and development of technical reports. At the end of the course a questionnaire was passed to the students in order to analyse which of these activities is the one they believe has the greatest influence in the learning process. |
