Abstract: Human resources experts consider important for a young graduate to be well trained in the field of expertise and to have developed skills like problem-solving, communication, collaboration, responsibility, and self-direction. Project Based Learning (PBL) concord with the requests of the legal framework and studies showed that the method was successful in achieving them. In order to be efficient, PBL needs to respect a list of requirements, one of them being the realism of the themes. The paper presents the results of two projects which used the environmental protection issues as real-world context supported by interactive computer simulations. Subjects approached in two projects assessed the current state of quality of natural habitat and investigated the effect of building placement and orientation on the dispersion of traffic air pollutants. PBL was successfully used to effectively shape the learning environment for master students from a designated Applied Engineering program.
