Abstract

The article reports the experience of Engineering courses at Positivo University from the need to engage students and develop the highest order skills in Anderson's Taxonomy et al. (2001). In the context of pedagogical practices, a Project-Based Learning was developed with students of the first year of Engineering. The didactic sequences articulate theory and practice, favoring the study of conic, quadratic, cylindrical surfaces and their applications. Specifically, Project-Based Learning was used as a methodological strategy to make classes more interactive, reducing student passivity, developing autonomy and engagement from real problems and situations. The results of the experiment demonstrated a significant difference in student performance in the assessments that involved the proposed study themes.
