Abstract

This paper describes an experiment to improve the training of engineering students based on the involvement of companies from the environment of the university. The PBL (Project-Based Learning) methodology is at the foundation of this activity. The collaboration of the companies is based on their offer of work for specific subjects. The projects are done in groups and the students have both an academic and a company supervisor. Collaborating with these companies improves the competences inherent to the subject, but also transversal competences like teamwork capacity, communication skills or consensual decision-making; it also increases the employability of the students. This activity has been developed since 1998-99 with satisfactory results, so it is currently used in more subjects of our University.
