bring numerous gaps in their knowledge, particularly in physics and mathematics. Theinitial contact with this new reality in their lives is crucial to future success, revealing a greatimportance for personal and professional development and creating tight bonds with positiveinfluence on dropout rates. These challenges led to the decision to implement a new socio-pedagogical project called GOIS (from Damião de Góis, a prominent Portuguese andEuropean renaissance man). It introduced important innovations and new strategiesinvolving computer-student interaction during teaching-learning processes. Problem-solvingskills are fundamental tools for the future engineer; so, the goal is to improve those tools andcoach the student in a rational way. A
