Abstract

The Formula Student is the largest European event in the world of teaching profile engine. Since 2007, University where the authors of this research belong to, was involved in this competition with the aim of encouraging students to implement all the knowledge acquired in the classroom. The UEM01 was then developed to participate in the Formula Student competition. The project continued to develop the following year with the manufacture of UEM02, which reached a good position in the Montmeló circuit. In 2011 - for the manufacture of UEM03 - apart from the engineering students both students and teachers from other Schools (Arts and Communication, and Social Sciences) have joined the project. Through this activity, students have developed various tasks (car design, car manufacturing, finding sponsors, developing campaigns in the media, etc.) being as close as possible to the real world. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to develop an activity that allows students to develop essential skills in the workplace and bring them into the professional world. The obtained findings confirm the suitability of this activity not only to achieve its objectives but also to increase the students’ motivation, academic performance and level of involvement in the classroom.
