FERNANDES, Sandra Raquel; FLORES, Maria Assunção  e  LIMA, Rui Manuel. A aprendizagem baseada em projectos interdisciplinares: avaliação do impacto de uma experiência no ensino de engenharia. Avaliação (Campinas) [online]. 2010, vol.15, n.03, pp.59-86. ISSN 1414-4077.

This paper aims to give an overview of an ongoing and broader piece of research based on the evaluation of a Project-Led Education (PLE) experience in an Engineering and Industrial Management degree. For this, the CIPP (Context, Input, Process, Product) Evaluation Model was used as a framework for evaluating the impact of the program (Stufflebeam, 2003). Data were collected through qualitative and quantitative research methods, focusing upon students´ perceptions concerning the implementation and evaluation of PLE experiences. Findings, with regard to the impact of PLE on students' learning processes and outcomes, suggest that the project provided a greater understanding and application of contents and enhanced a set of transversal skills, such as communication skills, teamwork, problem solving, project management and also sense of responsibility on students.
