Se presentan los resultados de la experiencia docente aplicada en la asignatura ‘Mecánica’, dictada en el primer curso de Ingeniería Industrial, en la Universidad Europea de Madrid. La actividad fue altamente competencial, y se ha desarrollado en paralelo con metodologías más tradicionales, suponiendo el 30% de la nota final. Los alumnos formaron grupo libremente, eligieron aspectos de Ingeniería relacionados con la asignatura, y desarrollaron el tema a lo largo de todo el cuatrimestre. Finalmente expusieron los trabajos, seguidos de sesiones de preguntas. Las reuniones de seguimiento, realizadas de manera individual, se han constituido como un elemento vital de la experiencia. Otro aspecto clave ha sido el proceso de evaluación, en el que se ha valorado cuantitativamente un número considerable de aspectos, a través de una media ponderada. En comparación con el año anterior...

The main results of a teaching experience applied to the module ‘Mechanics’ are presented. This subject is given to the first year in Industrial Engineering at the Universidad Europea de Madrid. The activity was highly skill-oriented, and it has represented 30% of the final qualification. Furthermore, it was implemented simultaneously to more traditional lectures. The students have decided the composition of the groups, as well as the subject of interest (connected to the module) and the planning for the activity, developed during the whole semester. Finally, they have orally communicated their works, followed by sessions of questions. The control meetings maintained by the professor have been revealed as vital elements for the experience. Another key aspect was the evaluation process, which has quantitatively considered several aspects by a weighted mean. When compared with the form...
