It was proposed to the students develop a project, in a Polymeric Systems class in a class of the Bachelor of Chemistry at UFSCar, where they should choose real problem and find possible solutions using skills not normally worked in a traditional methodologies as join theoretical with practical knowledge; studies from various sources and technical standards; research and teamwork. In this study was analyzed the motivation and participation of students in the teaching and learning process in Polymeric Systems class, the perceptions about their development, professional skills and the methodology applied. The results of this work show that students realized the importance of developing transversal skills and agree that the methodology used by most teachers in the class of the Bachelor of Chemistry does not contribute to its development.
