Abstract:
Technical Projects is one of the essential subjects in Industrial Engineering Degree. The students must acquire the maximum relevant knowledge about the design, writing and development of a whole technical project for a new building and their specific installations. In real work life, it is very important for engineers to work in group in this area of technical projects. Because of that, this work presents a method of teaching-learning process based on working in groups and evaluating in groups the work of their other partners in the class. The engineering students must work in group to realize a small project for a real client in the practical part of the subject. The evaluation of the main practical part of the subject is made by the students, but also the teacher will evaluate the students work and the evaluation task that students do. The evaluating task consists in a blended method with two parts. The first part occurs in class face to face, while the second part is made by students in an electronic form using an online platform. This method makes students achieve the goals of the subject in the best way, acquiring knowledge and competences related together. Keywords:
