Abstract: Aware of the qualities besides knowledge which are most valued by engineering firms (the ability to make decisions, a capacity for teamwork, initiative, capacity for solving problems and efficient communication, among others), an experience based on Problem-based Learning (PBL) has been carried out in which students have had to decide on what they understand as critical thinking and participation in multi-task teamwork in order to self-assess their own participation and critical thinking and evaluate that of their team-mates. A quantitative analysis of the grades indicated that there were no significant differences except with regard to the students' preparation time. A qualitative analysis showed that the students experienced the process as one similar to that of facing their professional future.
