Resumen

This paper presents an innovative project management teaching approach to complement technical concepts with competences in the area of human skills. In the proposed model, the authors decided to develop a project-based and collaborative learning model combined with a transversal coordination between the same subjects in different engineering degree programs, considering the different curricula of each degree involved. This approach, among other things, allows the student to develop group competences like teamwork and communication, and to implement, in scale, the professional skills that should be deployed by a project manager, like leadership, negotiation and team management. © 2016 TEMPUS Publications.
