Abstract :
The paper presents the experience of a structured problem-based learning approach to the teaching of a study module on Thermodynamics in the second year of an Electronic Engineering graduate program at the University of Burgos. In the light of the experience gained, a list of recommendations is presented that might prove of interest to academics interested in pursuing a similar approach.
