• MetodologiaMethodology

  Student-centered problem-based learning (PBL) is proposed, involving groups of students working together to solve a real-world problem. Students are encouraged to understand concepts through problem-solving skills. Students will have the opportunity to develop skills related to teamwork, project management, oral and written communication, self-awareness and evaluation of group processes, critical thinking and analysis, explaining concepts, self-directed learning, applying course content to real-world examples, research and information literacy, and problem-solving across disciplines.
