Impact of Project-Based Learning on Networking and Communications Competences

The objective of this article is to establish the impact of project-based learning on networking and communication competences I in engineering students from Lima city. The study was of an applied type, quasi-experimental design, and was made up of a population conformed by 39 students of the VI cycle of engineering, an objective test was applied to measure the impact of project-based learning on network and communication competences I. The research results determined the statistically significant relationship of project-based learning and networking and communications competences I in engineering studentswith pretest values of Z = -, 498 greater than -1.96 (critical point) and level of significance p-value = 0.618 greater than α = 0 ,05 (p>α) and then with values in the posttest of Z = - 4,488 less than -1.96 (critical point) and level of significance p-value = 0.000 less than α = 0.05 (p <α), therefore the project-based learning positively and significantly impacts on network and communication competences I, in engineering students, supporting the alternative hypothesis and rejecting the null hypothesis. Consequently, we reached the conclusion that the application of the project-based learning methodology has demonstrated that caused a positive and significant impact on network and communications competences I in engineering students.
