Indicators with active hybrid ABP-STEM methodologies in postgraduate studies: proposal for sewerage system management

Abstract

Active methodologies involve changing from a teaching-based education system to a learning-based system where the student is the protagonist of the educational process. This paper presents the results obtained from the implementation of two active methodologies: Project-Based Learning (PBL) and STEM in the postgraduate module on Planning and Design Basics for Sewage and Sanitation in the Civil Engineering Specialisation with a mention in Sewage and Sanitation, which is taught in a hybrid postgraduate format. The results show that the students' perception has been positive, and through the development of a group project, it was possible to create a management plan with performance indicators for the efficient and sustainable operation of the selected sewerage systems.
