Abstract
The transformation of university teaching towards a competency acquisition approach requires an update of teaching methodologies. In the case of laboratory practices, the application of the Problem-Based Teaching methodology encourages students to apply their knowledge to solve problems based on real situations, as well as efficient communication in a work environment. This paper presents the results obtained by applying this alternative teaching methodology to a laboratory practice in the last year of the Degree in Industrial Chemical Engineering at the University of La Laguna. The results confirm a greater theoretical understanding of the concepts and the ability to apply them in practice, with a notable increase in motivation and interest in their learning process.
