Team-Based Learning in Electrical Engineering Classes

The Electrical Machines course requires dedication from students, which is essential for their professional qualification because several economic sectors such as industrial and commercial use electrical machines to drive loads. Aiming the training process of engineering students to encompass the development of technical skills, cognitive skills, and methodological skills, the National Curricular Guidelines (DCN) for Engineering courses in Brazil were revised and published to stimulate institutions to adopt active learning methods. This article presents the results of the Team-Based Learning application in the Electrical Machines Classes. In this research, the strategy was used to improve the learning of the students and develop collaborative work skills. From the analysis of the students’ grades obtained in the academic exams from 2010 to 2022 in the Electrical Machine Course of the Federal University of Ceará - Campus Sobral, the topics of Direct Current Machines, Three-phase Transformers, and Synchronous Machines were selected for applying the methodology in 2023. The result is the improvement and leveling of grades in the 2023 semesters.
