Abstract
Presented in this study are the evidences and details of the tools used to assess and monitor projects assigned to student groups within the context of three subjects of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC, BarcelonaTech, Spain). During the process, the aim was to integrate generic competencies: teamwork, and oral and written effective communication. To facilitate learning throughout the process, follow-up meetings of teacher and student groups were held. Monitoring of progress was carried out in conjunction with a feedback process that enabled continuous improvement. The main conclusions from an analysis of the results are: 1) the projects developed were of higher quality; 2) motivation and student involvement was higher; and 3) greater satisfaction was experienced by the participating students and teachers.
