The paper discuss a proposal and the implementation of active learning strategies at the Engineering College, UFJF, Brazil. These strategies, based on a hybrid approach of the Project Based Learning ‐ PjBL and Problem Based Learning ‐ PBL, are described and analyzed. Beginning with its application to a single discipline, the project evolved to include several students groups, utilizing the Electrical Engineering Tutorial Program, and an interdisciplinary implementation, encompassing two disciplines. A Workshop about PjBL was also accomplished trying to motivate the Engineering College professors for these strategies. A discussion and analysis of the results obtained until now ends the paper
