• Resumen

  • A teaching experiment was conducted with students of Graphic Engineering at Madrid Polytechnic University Aeronautical Engineering School to improve their professional development in cooperative engineering design tasks in an aeronautical company. A matrix-like company structure made up of departments interacting on different projects was created. This means that the students had to collaborate and share design information. This paper describes how the experiment was organised, how it developed and the most significant results. Considerable quantitative and qualitative improvements were observed compared with the traditional methods that were used on previous courses.
