Like worldwide, at the Universidad Nacional de Colombia, by the Direction of the Engineering Faculty, there is a growing interest in modifying the traditional lectured-based teaching model. A PBL course was designed to encourage problembased learning (PBL), and to improve teaching practices within graduate students. In the PBL course participated students who were teaching assistant at the engineering program. Often, graduate students have their pedagogical training by imitation due to their formation process; therefore, they don’t have pedagogical knowledge. The course was organised in two parts: the first one focused on issues about learning and philosophical theories of learning as a teaching model, using lectures and workshops. The second part was to learn PBL using the PBL model to do so. The 64-hour course was done in the second half of 2015. It had the participation of 24 graduate students, between different disciplines of engineering. After students had been training, we collected student views from both, PBL course program and the importance of PBL as a method for undergraduate students learning. The results were analysed by qualitative methods.
