Abstract

Open research issues in the research field of Project Based Learning in Engineering Education are the selection of the project theme and the lack of tools to deal with a new conception of knowledge to be taught. Didactics of Mathematics are facing similar research issues when implementing and analyzing inquiry-based processes. We hypothesize that two of the methodological tools used in Didactics in Mathematics could be used in Project Based Learning in Engineering Education. We present in this study the results of two exploratory case studies using these tools in the design, experimentation and analysis of project based learning courses in General Elasticity in a 3rd year of a Mechanical Engineering Degree.
