abstract
- Universities and professors should ensure that final-grade students possess reusable and professional-useable knowledge, problem-solving skills, and the ability to enhance their knowledge. In this paper, we present the case for the implementation of problem-based learning (PBL) for students in the last term of the mechatronics engineering program at Tecnologico de Monterrey on the campus in Tampico. In the proposed teaching strategy, students define the challenge to be addressed and the final deliveries; an implementation case is presented with the evaluation of a group of employers, graduated students, and professors to validate the student work and achievement. © 2025 IEEE.
