Among these, the adoption of the methodology of teaching and learning Project-LedEngineering Education is to be highlighted, where the active role of the learner and the tutor's role as "guide" throughout the project is promoted and appreciated. In order to understand whether the role of the tutor is being performed as expected, a series of questionnaire surveys were conducted. In this study instrument, issues within the perception of students on the role of the tutor in Project-Led Engineering Education, on the promotion of critical thinking and on the appreciation of problem solving were addressed.
