Abstract

Objectives: Through this study, the researchers aimed to determine which skills were developed during a short-term project PBL-like event named Expin-48. Methods: A descriptive evaluative study involving participant observation, questionnaires and focus groups enabled comparisons between observations of mentors and the perceptions of students on the nature of skill development in a short-term problem-oriented project. Results: Leadership and teamwork were the skills which stood out as critical for success in collaborative student-centered projects. Conclusion: PBL in the form of short-term project can work as an efficient educative learning event. Activation of essential skills required for engineering projects was evident in the learning process and outcomes.
