Project Based Learning (PBL) is a very popular teaching strategy nowadays because it offers a great number of advantages and/or opportunities from a teaching point of view, such as achieving a deeper learning, developing teamwork and leadership skills, or getting the student to take control of what and how to learn. For all these reasons, the authors believe that, in the context of the Master's studies, as the last studies before insertion into working life, the PBL can be a very appropriate teaching methodology, since well thought out it will prepare students for the real situations that they will later experience in their professional lives. The objective of this workis to present the experience of the application of PBL in the development of a common project for four subjects of the University Master in Engineering, Processing and Characterization of Materials, taught at the Polytechnic School of Alcoy, belonging to the Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV).

During the 2019/2020 academic year, project-based learning has been introduced in the development of a laboratory practice of the Eco-efficient Materials subject, given in the second year of the University Master's Degree in Engineering, Processing and Characterization of Materials to obtain recycled paper. The practice was carried out during 3 sessions in groups of 3 students. Prior to the practice, the teacher made a guide on how to recycle paper and the students looked for information to help themself to determine whether if they would add some fillers or another additives in order to optimize the product obtained. Therefore, they were who decided on what the composition of the recycled paper would be. The objective of doing the practice in this way was to observe the students abilities for information search, decision making and the development of the final product and its characterization. An improvement was observed in the students' abilities to handle the laboratory characterization equipments, and more confidence in making decisions.

During the 2020/21 academic year, the active and collaborative learning methodology was implemented in the development of a laboratory practice of the Eco-efficient Materials course of the second year of the University Master's Degree in Engineering, Processing and Characterization of Materials, in virtual modality. The use of this methodology aims to promote student participation and increase their level of responsibility in the laboratory practice, making use of the advantages of a virtual modality. Before carrying out the practice, students were given a script and then an explanatory session and resolution of doubts was held. The practices were carried out in a virtual and synchronous way. The students were responsible for setting the parameters and the teacher was in charge of reproducing them in the laboratory. The objective of this work was to observe the behavior of the students in decision-making, to appreciate if they acquired the necessary knowledge for the development of the practice and to solve the problems that may arise during it. Subsequently, the learning methodology between a virtual and a face-to-face modality was compared, and an active and collaborative learning methodology was developed that can be applied in either of the two scenarios.

Leadership Lessons

The purpose of this study is to describe a MSc course aimed at preparing the elite of engineering education, providing knowledge, developing skills and experience that will allow graduates of Master degree programs not only to find a job, but also to build a successful professional career and a happy life consciously. The presented masters course introduces the best practices of leadership development from the rector of KNRTU-KAI, Albert Gilmutdinov (20122021) (based on his book Leadership Lessons), advanced experience in the development of leadership skills from Russian and foreign universities, as well as a unique American teaching methodology aimed at the peculiarities of training engineering personnel. The study reveals the problems of training modern engineering specialists: engineering student negative attitudes (I cannot learn English, it is too difficult to apply for a grant, an interesting job can only be found by acquaintance); inability of young people to answer questions about how to find a job in their life, how to work hard and not get tired, how to become successful and at the same time maintain good relations with people. The team of authors of the course believes that the results of the implementation of the Leadership Lessons project can be of professional interest not only among masters students, but also among all students of engineering schools, increasing the personal activity of students, their demand in the labor market, as well as strengthening ties between employers and the university.

With this workshop we would like to present the principles of project-based learning in second languages and how to implement it when teaching foreign languages. Moreover, we would like to share our experience in using this method in two parallel courses at the Leuphana Universität in Lüneburg and the Technische Universität Berlin, both located in Germany. Our idea to collaborate in the creation of educational materials which could be suitable to our needs arose in 2011. We were looking for a new teaching strategy to enable students to feel completely involved in situa-tions in which they could make practical use of the language, going beyond the limits of the classroom by car-rying out a project. At the same time, we could not forget the fact that we teach a language course for special purposes, with all what this implies: developing all four major skills, paying special attention to the specific vocabulary and creating virtual rooms to learn so that this process could be continued after the classes. With the passage of time, we have been able to confirm that this working model enables us to achieve most of the objectives of the University Curricula in a much more efficient way.

Examined is the application of social service with aim of education at university. At present, education in the university often takes place in a mixed format, with the active use of distance technologies. This context increasingly raises the question of using new methods and techniques that could make the educational process more effective and interesting for students. Under these conditions, teachers have increasingly begun to turn their attention to the Web 2.0 technologies, which represent a qualitatively new approach to the construction of the educational process. This article deals with the social service Wiki, which is more often used in the educational process of the university. From the teaching point of view, the Wiki service allows creating conditions for students when they have to analyze large amounts of information, select the most important, summarize and draw conclusions. It also allows students to critically review articles and collaboratively correct or improve them. The use of the Wiki service in the educational process is of great importance for students as well because its interactivity transforms them from pure information consumers into active users. This article presents examples of using the social service Wiki in the educational process of Penza State Technological University within the framework of the disciplines “Foreign language (German)” and “Methods of teaching and education”.

Digital Communications have been traditionally taught in laboratory sessions from a theoretical point of view, using simulation platforms. However, current Academic Accreditation includes the dimension of “what students are expected to be able to do”, which poses the need of decreasing the gap between standard simulated laboratory sessions and more practical and realistic approaches. In this paper, we propose a methodology to enhance the learning of practical aspects related to Digital Communications courses, as well as increasing the student’s engagement, via the use of low-cost software defined radio devices. This methodology has been applied in the Degree in Telematics Engineering at the School of Engineering from the University of Valencia, Spain. With the aim of improving the engagement of both master and undergraduate students, a project based learning methodology has been implemented. In the paper, the methodology is described, several laboratory activities based on the 802.11 standard are presented, and recommendations for practice are given.

Today education has increasing impacted on dynamic factors from fast changes of information and communication technology (ICT). Such as functions of Microsoft’s Offices and social media of Facebook, Line, Instagram (IG) are all appearances in our living environment. Although those ICTs’ tools have more and more convened in our life, however, they also have made students becoming laze and lack of cooperative learning attitude with others, this causes student’s ICT tools look fruitful but their competence is lower than before. Therefore, how to enhance student’s ICT competence has become an important issue in teaching methodology and strategy. In this paper aims to develop an effective teaching strategy on fitting this challenge. Through a way on using project-based learning in understanding the tourism knowledge, we find that student’s ICT competence needs more advanced improvement on how to integrate tools of ICT, as well as how to work together with others when go through a team work project. This paper has a critical contribution on using ICT to construct an unknown industrial knowledge. And this knowledge is abstraction and difficult to understand in a traditional class teaching, but through project-based learning with ICT thus approached.
