The desire for improving student motivation and interest in engineering learning promote new methodologies for active learning. The present paper present a new methodology based on project learning and portable learning technology. The goal of the method was to improve students confidence and learning in industrial design and prototyping during one semester. The results indicate that students motivation for learning was very high, also it has been maintained during all semester. Also the confidence on their learning and retention ability increased that indicate that the method havd a positive impact on the students.
