increase the teaching efficiency such that these topics arecovered and opens space to promote research and self-learning.The PBL environment designed for the linear programming course have some opportunity areasbut, in a general sense, the results shown that is close to impact all the participants in a positiveway, developing modeling skills, interactive learning and self-confidence to making decisionsusing the results provide for a mathematical model. Also, the course format allows to openopportunities to assess and improve soft skills such as communication skills, team work,leadership and citizenship.Even though this research found very useful the use of PBL environment, it is important toremark the time required to prepare, design and manage
