Description
Summary:[EN] One of the challenges arising from the implementation of the European Higher Education Area is the search for new methods of evaluation and learning. This paper proposes a new project-based learning initiative and a competitive evaluation system in the student's knowledge related to the analysis and planning of water distribution networks. The methodology is based on the development of a team work project to improve an existing water supply network. Based on computer simulations and acquired learning, students must find the best solution for system operation. Finally, the works (presented and exposed) are evaluated in a competitive way, giving the highest score to the best solution according to previously established criteria. This initiative has been implemented in the subject "Analysis and modeling of water distribution networks" that is taught in the Master in Hydraulic Engineering and Environment of the UPV. The initial results show a better perception of the subject by the students and a certain improvement in their academic results
