School of Engineering, Architecture & Design - Madrid

The School of Architecture, Engineering, and Design uses a Project-Based Learning (PBL) methodology that is further strengthened through continuous evaluation. Integrative Projects (IPs) make it possible to move beyond traditional learning silos.

PBS Office

The Project Based School (PBS) office was created to give support to the teaching staff at the UE STEAM School in the development of project-based learning, as well as to implement the academic model.

In the 2012-2013 academic year, the UE STEAM School embarked on a path of educational innovation by becoming a Project-Based Learning School that adopts a common methodology in order to develop students’ knowledge and skills to help them become outstanding professionals who respond to the real needs of employers, both in education and society. From this perspective, we believe that our students learn best when they apply their knowledge on a real project, as they will do in their professional life.

In this learning model, our students work on projects from their first year, developing communication, collaboration, problem-solving and critical analysis skills and, in some cases, with the collaboration of companies or institutions.

The PBS office in its role as a Project-Based Learning Observatory, also one of the pillars of the academic model, is committed to leading the true development of the learning model, providing teachers and students with the necessary resources to ensure the quality of learning.

Its main tasks include supporting teachers in their PBL projects, in-house training, monitoring and carrying out research on the PBL model at the School, as well as training activities and dissemination of the methodology to reinforce the academic model:

  • Organization of the UE STEAM School Awards
  • Organization of the UE STEAM School Encounters
  • Organization of the UE STEAM School European Workshops
  • Commissioning of the UE STEAM School Showroom
  • Specific training in the PBL methodology and the academic model
  • Map of integration projects
  • Activities and dissemination of the academic model

The office is composed of members from the School itself and focussed on the different knowledge areas of the STEAM School:

  • Ken Gómez (Architecture and Design)
  • José Manuel López (Sciences, Computers and Technology)
  • Javier Jesús Collado (Engineering)
  • Alberto Galindo (Director of the PBS Office)

PBS Office Events

This is an event to acknowledge the integration projects, which puts the academic world in contact with leading companies in each sector carried out during the academic year.

All the projects students carry out during the academic year are eligible to participate, with a prize for each category and an overall prize. A specialized jury of professionals and companies collaborating with the UE STEAM School evaluates.

The event has been held annually, at the end of September, for the last ten years.

This is a forum of best practices where the UE STEAM School faculty shares the most outstanding dynamics of the PBL methodology. It is a repository of examples, shared by teachers, which helps other colleagues to learn, reinforce and implement the PBL methodology in their subjects.

The event has been organized annually, at the end of July, for the last 5 years.

This is a forum of best practices where the faculty at the UE STEAM School share experiences related to the PBL methodology with other teachers from leading European universities in this methodology.

The event has been organized annually, at the end of November, for the last 3 years.

This is a temporary exhibition of PBL projects in the hall and common areas of the School to give visibility to the PBL results in the different knowledge areas of the School.

The PBS office is responsible for organizing and conducting various training courses to reinforce the academic model and the project-based learning methodology.

Project-Based School Awards

Each year, the School of Architecture, Engineering, and Design recognises the best projects carried out by students during the academic year. In each degree programme, students complete at least one integrative project following the PBL philosophy that governs our academic model.

An internal panel selects the finalists from each field, who will go on to compete for the top prize. A jury composed of more than 30 members belonging to major companies and institutions from all sectors selects the best projects in each field, which receive their awards during the Project-Based School (PBS) Awards Session.

The following list of companies includes those which have participated in the PBS Awards selection committee, those which have collaborated with students as a part of PBS projects, and those which have collaborated with students through internships.
