Summary The success of the 1st edition of the Pedagogical Innovation Projects - PIP2018, led us to launch the 2nd edition of the Pedagogical Innovation Projects - PIP2019, encouraging a greater number of teachers to propose and develop innovative teaching methodologies and to include new technologies and tools in their curricular units. With this brochure, we intend to present and disseminate the results of the second edition of the Pedagogical Innovation Projects - PIP2019, which had 23 proposals submitted, of which 9 were financed, within the scope of curricular units. A set of financed projects, focused on the development and inclusion of active learning, project based and gamification strategies within selected curricular units. The projects “ScientIST - Scientific Experiments in the Field of Biomedical Engineering Supported by Mobile Devices and IoT”, “Virtual Reality to teach Virtual Reality” and “Autonomous Electric Vehicle - A tool for the teaching in EEC”, “Escape the Room - learn the subject to escape ”, which foster more autonomous and collaborative learning for students. The projects “Hands-on Polymers”, “Chemistry Laboratories: GREATER autonomy, MORE laboratory, BEST academic performance”, “The Caenorhabditis elegans nematode as an infection model”, are examples of the creation of innovative laboratories, new laboratory works and innovative methodologies, some of which include the introduction of e-learning tools in the laboratory component. The use of digital platforms and tools for online assessment is evident in three of the submitted projects, “Quizzes Tutor”, “ExolineX: Online Exams on the MOOCTECNICO platform” and “E-LEARN @DEEC”. These projects served as a basis and functioned as prototypes for distance assessment in the 2nd semester 2019/2020, in several curricular units. For example, the ExonlineX platform was used to carry out tests and exams in 25 UCs in the 1st and 2nd cycles of different courses, with a total of 4150 students; the E-LEARN @ DEEC platform, based on Moodle, was used by DEEC teachers in around 30 UCs in the 1st and 2nd cycles, adding around 3000 students. The innovative pedagogical experiences described in this brochure intend to make known the experiences, of a group of teachers, of introducing pedagogical innovations within the scope of curricular units and encourage the sharing of good practices among the teaching community.
