Abstract
This article presents the application of PBL (Project Based Learning) methodology in a subject called Projects within the degree of Industrial Organization (ETSEIATUPC) and includes a detailed feedback from students in terms of their "experiences and feelings" about such implementation. It is, therefore, a real project carried out by students in which they themselves assume responsibilities and, hence, perform an active role in their own learning process always following the guidelines set by the professor, who designs specific activities or recreates scenarios accordingly. Thereby, in the present article we explain how a group of students assess PBL methodology in their tuition and practice and, especially, when carrying out and finishing a set project. Our contribution, then, goes a step further than usual as it deals with more than just filling up questionnaires and gathering opinions but it incorporates students\´ views on the methodological tools used both in the theoretical and practical sessions which offers us, professors, a very useful inside information of students\´ perceptions an views while using PBL for their Engineering project.
