Aprendizagem baseada em projetos aplicada nas disciplinas de projetos de máquinas do curso de engenharia mecânica

Abstract

On the mechanical engineering course, taught at Centro Universitário Alves Faria, there are the disciplines of Machine Design I and Machine Design II. These subjects are taught in very advanced periods of the course, and are intended to make the student apply all the knowledge acquired during the course, such as in the subjects of Engineering Materials, General Mechanics, Dynamics, Machine Elements, among others, on a mechanic project. Therefore, it is extremely important that this discipline is taught through the Project Based Learning active methodology. The objective of the present work, therefore, was the elaboration of a project, using this methodology, in which way the students envision the Final Product.
