Abstract(s)
Industry 4.0 is re-shaping the way companies and
individuals operate, but it is also introducing strong demands
in education processes to train professionals with adequate
competencies in emergent digital technologies, e.g., Internet of
Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence and collaborative robotics. In
the last decade, innovative educational methods are being applied,
e.g., problem-based learning and project-based learning, to move
the traditional education approach into a more student-centric
process where the student has a more active role. Recent studies
point out that the combination of such educational methods
is beneficial, each one selected according to the particularities
of the learning subject and objective. Having this in mind,
this paper describes the application of a learning methodology
that combines different educational methods, namely face-toface,
problem-based learning and project-based learning, in a
teaching course unit focusing on IoT technologies. The achieved
results show an increase of the student’s assessment performance,
motivation and satisfaction, and the opportunity to consolidate
their acquired knowledge with hands-on practice. This approach
also stimulates the acquisition of soft skills, mainly teamwork,
communication, creativity and critical thinking.
