Abstract

Abstract: When we talk about using integrated projects in classes, we often applying Project-Based Learning (PBL) techniques. With the aim of promoting skills, the PBL methodology subjects’ students to tasks and challenges to develop a project that connects with their lives outside the classroom or the environment of work and, during this process, students deal with interdisciplinary issues and take decisions acting alone and in teams. This work aims to present the details of the integrated and multidisciplinary project, applied from 2019 to 2022 in the Control and Automation Engineering course at Institute Mauá of Technology. During this period, around 40 students per year were analyzed, always from the 4th period of the course, divided into approximately 10 teams per year. The projects were carried out within the subjects of Instrumentation, Microcontrollers, Programming and Control Systems. The presented results allow verifying the evolution of the methods as well as the skills developed.
