The evolution of learning in higher education is nowadays evident. Several discussions and studies have been performed about new methodologies that can disrupt the way the classes are taught in universities. In this context, Project-Based Learning (PBL) is the most emphasized. In the Mechanical Engineering course at the University of Minho (UM), the Integration Project (IP) courses apply a PBL methodology, being these classes the differentiating element of the Integrated Master in Mechanical Engineering (IMME) compared with other Portuguese universities. However, even if the innovative aspect of this approach is recognized nationally, the opinions between students and Professors, about the structure and organization of this class, are still divided. In that sense, this work presents a new proposal for the IP courses in which the opinion of students and successful models implemented in international universities are considered. This study analyses the best PBL methodologies implemented in Engineering courses and presents a PBL model actually implemented at the IMME. This information is combined with the student's views obtained from a survey conducted at the Department of Mechanical Engineering (DEM), regarding the actual PBL model. Through this study, a new proposal for the IP courses is presented. This proposal intends to provide an effective answer to the necessity of the students, using successful tools and methodologies to improve the teaching and learning process in the IMME course. Through this proposal, it is expected to increase the learning process and motivation of the students making them better prepared for a productive profession.

“…Project based learning is an instructional method that provides knowledge and skills through "an extended inquiry process structured around complex and real-life questions" [3], [4]. PBL focuses on teaching students to learn how to ask questions, find and answer the questions their own way by conducting investigations, and apply what they have learned to unfamiliar problems [5].…”

She received her Ph.D. in Civil Engineering in 2014 from the City College of New York. Dr. Seo has participated in several projects to promote under-represented groups including women students and Hispanic minorities in the technology discipline since her appointment in 2015. She has contributed to increasing women students' interest in technology by offering 3-D printing and coding experience workshops for two years funded by Cornell University and CUNY Women in Technology (WiTNY) award. She also has mentored Hispanic Ph.D. students to assist their professoriate career achievement through a five-year NSF awarded The Hispanic Alliance for the Graduate Education and the Professoriate on Environmental Sciences and Engineering (H-AGEP) program in collaboration with
