Resumen
This article explains the results of more than three years working in collaborative engineering learning development, at themaster’s degree level, in the school of industrial engineers of the UNED, distance university of Spain. The fundamentalapproach is based on the ‘‘distance methodology’’ and ‘‘continuous evaluation’’ of the students’ work and periodicreviews. The need for a teamwork aptitude is assumed an implicit requirement and, therefore, there is a specificmethodology for the project. The work is supported by data and statistics that show better results than those obtainedin other subjects of the same master’s where the teamwork option is not applied, or in other master’s and degree subjects inthe engineering field or other technical areas. The result is success in the response and participation of the students and anew methodology that could be transferred to other subjects that do not have a specific teamwork requirement, but coulduse this methodology to improve the results.
