This research aims to increase our understanding about the effects of active learning, applying problem-based learning (PBL) methodologies to increase student motivation in various graphic engineering classes. The measurement instruments included a cross-sectional survey (n = 269) carried out during the years 2015 to 2019 through triangulation of data analysis. A quantitative comparison of student evaluations has also been carried out. This research aims to provide new evidence to improve learning using active learning methodologies. The development of these teaching activities, in addition to promoting creative and innovative thinking in students, has contributed to the improvement in the visualization of geometric models and the understanding of statements and solutions.
