Abstract—Careers related to science, technology, engineering and math topics are more than ever experimenting with new methodologies to teach classes. Even though the problem-based methodology is not new, many universities have not yet developed specific procedures that fit the courses content. This report details the experimental methodology that is intended to be applied in the Probability and Descriptive Statistics course that is common for all engineering careers at a private university in Costa Rica. In this first stage, it is found that around 50% of the students support the methodology and recommend it for other courses. In the short time of application of the methodology, there are no significant differences in the academic performance of the students, however the information collected is the main input for the development of new programs and professors training process in the PBL methodology.
