Active Learning Under the Industrial Engineering Perspective of the Second Year Students (original) (raw)

It is expected of the learning process of an engineering student the development of skills that are professionally required by the labor market. This need increases the interest to move forward and implement new teaching methodologies, which in this context was used the application of active learning methodology, peer instruction and project development in the Salesian University Center of Sao Paulo, unit of Lorena, applied in the fourth semester of Industrial Engineering. The new teaching methods imply a change in behavior both on teachers, who act as facilitators and collaborators, as students, who learn to act collaboratively through teamwork, in which they learn how to manage, to communicate effectively, to set goals and stick to them and how to understand the impact of their decisions.
