Project-based learning (PBL) is an active learning concept to bring learners to higher levels of learning. In this paper, we present a case of project-based learning course given to mechatronic students in Supméca-Paris. The objective of the course is to involve mechatronic students in business innovation based on the design of new mechatronic products. After giving some details about the course organization and the engineering activities, we present the acquired skills and some recommendations to carry out efficiently such approach.
