Abstract
This paper reports the application of the problem-based learning methodology adapted to the development of specific skills in engineering students. This proposal considers three stages in its application: sensibilization, following up and evaluation. The study was applied to students of the eighth semester of electromechanical engineering at Pedagogical and Technological University of Colombia, who developed a project, based on a real situation. The results provide evidence of improvement in skills related to the solution of real world problems as well as to project management through the preparation and socialization of reports. Also, some shortcomings were detected in reference to the disciplinary knowledge. Therefore, the proposed methodology can be used as a tool for diagnosing and correcting weaknesses in the formative process of the future engineers.
