• Resumen

  • This paper presents an innovative project management teaching approach to complement technical concepts withcompetences in the area of human skills. In the proposed model, the authors decided to develop a project-based andcollaborative learning model combined with a transversal coordination between the same subjects in different engineeringdegree programs, considering the different curricula of each degree involved. This approach, among other things, allowsthe student to develop group competences like teamwork and communication, and to implement, in scale, the professionalskills that should be deployed by a project manager, like leadership, negotiation and team management.
