This paper aims to present an active learning model for the implementation of innovative teaching-learning practices in Higher Education, based on Active Learning Methodologies by highlighting especially, PBL - Problem Based Learning using Rapid Prototyping devices. In order to apply PBL's methodology to the courses, an implementation model with four levels of implementation was developed. Each level has four class attributes, which are the problem's scope, student autonomy, teaching role and classroom spacetime. The obtained results show that the students demonstrate higher levels of interest, participation, and involvement with classmates, motivation and content's perennial assimilation. With the application of these methodologies, skills required by job market, such as teamwork, relationship, collaboration, proactivity and entrepreneurship are also developed.
