Abstract (EN): This work presents a case study of the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) as part of the promotion of cooperative learning supported by computer in exterior lighting design, with solar energy. The influence and importance of ICT in various aspects, among which is the field of education, is already a subject practically defined and accepted. In this context the cooperative learning, including ICT, gives rise to the research area called cooperative learning supported by computer (CSCL). This study indicates the effectiveness of Problem Based Learning (PBL) in educating engineering students to make students more responsible in the contents area as well as in generic competences. By using PBL students get the opportunity to work or simulate real problems, making the learning experience much more meaningful. This method can also be seen as a benefit for Electrical Engineering programme where educators strive for improved teaching and learning.
