The paper discuss a proposal and the implementation of active learning strategies at the Engineering College, UFJF, Brazil. These strategies, based on a hybrid approach of the Project Based Learning ‐ PjBL and Problem Based Learning ‐ PBL, are described and analyzed. Beginning with its application to a single discipline, the project evolved to include several students groups, utilizing the Electrical Engineerin...
This paper presents a new line of project based learning in the School of Engineering of University of Minho: the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Integrated Project (IEIP). Four groups, each one composed of students from different engineering integrated master courses – Mechanical, Industrial Electronics and Computers, Polymer, Industrial Management – compete against each other in developing or improving commer...

Engineering education is an always present subject, correlated with the technology and production basis development. Active learning and engineering education are closely related areas, as the engineer is educated for designing solutions for real world problems demanding technical knowledge, skills and attitudes. Considering the educational process, some areas exhibit multidisciplinary characteristics and knowl...
This Special Issue of the Brazilian Journal of Operations and Production Management (BJOPM) features four papers selected from the XVIII International Conference on Industrial Engineering and Operations Management (ICIEOM), which conference theme was “Sustainability”, and two invited papers based on keynote speeches regarding Sustainability and its association to Industrial Engineering fields (one from ICIEOM a...
This paper documents a set of Industrial Lean projects over a decade timespan in the North of Portugal, which were conducted by final year students of the Integrated Master Course on Industrial Management and Engineering (IME) in partnership with the Department of Production and Systems of University of Minho. The study analyses a total of forty one such projects and reveals a clear growth in the number of Lean...
Project based learning is a methodology based on students’ teams developing interdisciplinary work to deliver an outcome as a result of a project. The engineering students’ teams when performing project work have to adopt project management methodologies. Assuming that the quality of the results on project work is also dependent on the project management methodology applied and that project management is one of...
CLME'2011 / IIICEM – 6º Congresso Luso-Moçambicano de Engenharia - 3º Congresso de Engenharia de Moçambique Maputo, 29Ago - 2Set 2011 - Edições INEGI 2011, (ISBN: 978-972-8826-24-6), Ref: CLME’2011_0912A ; The most popular and perhaps the most effective way to represent the material flow in production units is the diagram known as Value Stream Map (VSM). Moreover these maps are also used to help in the identif...
This paper presents the role of the Lean Production paradigm as promoter of the workers’ human potential. In the literature it is possible to find out many authors who have a negative opinion about Lean Production and consider this organizational model as an extension of Taylorist/Fordist model where the worker is seen as a gear in the “big machine”. Based on literature review and on the Toyota Production Syste...
