Abstract :
The results of an innovative training experience carried out over several courses on engineering projects executed by student´s teams, giving them a hierarchical organization structure are presented. This yields a stronger capacity for achieving more ambitious objectives and effectiveness. The paper addresses the problems and solutions that this hierarchical structure represents, along with how to implement guidelines for monitoring student´s work, mentoring and specific assessment tasks that have been applied to Electronic Engineering projects.
