Project Based Learning and Self Evaluation for Training Industrial Engineers in Graphic Expression = Aprendizaje Basado en Proyectos y Autoevaluación para estudiantes de Expresión Gráfica de Grado en Ingeniería en Organización Industrial

This work outlines the project-based learning methodology implemented in the graphic expression course within the industrial organization engineering degree program. The primary aim was to equip first_year engineering students with skills in graphic expression and computer-aided design (CAD) management, encompassing spatial vision, software handling, technical drawing, and interpretation of plans and diagrams. Students' perception of this active learning approach was positive, as it not only facilitated the acquisition of cross-cutting competencies like "information management" and "teamwork" but also delved into CAD software management. The opportunity for peer evaluation and self-assessment resulted in enhanced mastery of specific skills, affirming that this integrated teaching and evaluation method bolstered students' perception of their proficiency in graphic expression. The active involvement of students in evaluating their own work and that of their peers fostered a deeper understanding of the subject matter and encouraged collaborative learning. Consequently, students emerged from the course with a heightened sense of confidence in their abilities and a greater appreciation for the practical applications of their newfound skills in the field of engineering.
