This study introduces a Project-Based Learning model (PBL) for single courses of a control system that is part oftraditional education curricula. The PBL is applied to facilitate learning, encourage the development of transversal skillsfrom technical areas, stimulate the use of active learning in engineering programmes, and respond to research questionsabout how to apply PBL in single engineering courses that is part of Traditional Education curricula. The model seeks toencourage the development of transversal competencies like decision making, problem solving, self-learning andinformation management. The PBL model considers not only the policies and facilities of the University in which isapplied but also the culture and customs of the region in which the University is located, taking advantage of the context torecreate professional challenges. Likewise, the model takes into account the support resources of Traditional Educationand proposes the design of new web-based and local resources to facilitate the PBL application, which involves varioussteps for the execution of a project that aims to solve a control problem.
