Abstract (Original Language): 
The European Higher Educaton Area (EHEA) requires students to engage in more autonomous work. This autonomy is an outcome of the self-regulated learning process. Self-regulaton involves a self-management skill set that can cope with any adverse contngency and requires both knowledge of the available abilites and personal control to put these skills into acton. Learning the self-regulaton process is a critcal step in developing competences that enable the transformaton of mental apttudes into academic competences. However, it is necessary to modify the learning conditons to achieve self-regulaton in an adequate way. Thus, the academic authorites should empower skills that facilitate autonomous learning and contribute tools to student proactvity. In this regard, problem-based learning is an efectve method to facilitate the acquisiton of transversal competences. This didactc methodology may be performed in terms of the individual or teambased learning (TBL) that is necessarily linked to a teaching-learning open system. An adaptaton of Project – Based Learning (PBL) to the thermal engineering studies, i.e., the project-based learning model, was designed for the Research Master subject of ‘Building Energetc Efficiency’.
