Abstract (English): Methodological innovations in university teaching are usually analyzed from the students' perspective, while lecturers' view as experts has been less explored. The percentage of graduates in Building Engineering who work as self-employed professionals is high compared to other engineering and architectural degrees, highlighting the relevance of integrating entrepreneurial competencies into the curriculum. The aim of this study is to analyze the impact of implementing an active methodology on perceived usefulness and on faculty evaluation. To this end, an entrepreneurship project was carried out with 407 students enrolled in the Economics course over two academic years, culminating in two exhibitions featuring a total of 29 posters. The opinions of nine lecturers were analyzed through semi-structured interviews. The results show a very positive evaluation of 9.4 and provide proposals for improvement for future.

Abstract (Spanish): Las innovaciones metodológicas en la docencia universitaria se analizan habitualmente desde la perspectiva del alumnado, mientras que la visión del profesorado como experto ha sido menos explorada. El porcentaje de personas graduadas en Arquitectura Técnica que ejercen por cuenta propia es elevado en comparación con otras titulaciones de ingeniería y arquitectura, poniendo de manifiesto la relevancia de integrar competencias emprendedoras en el plan de estudios. El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar el impacto de la puesta en marcha de una metodología activa en la percepción de utilidad y la valoración del profesorado. Para ello, se desarrolló un proyecto de emprendimiento con 407 alumnos matriculados en Economía de dos cursos académicos, que culminó con dos exposiciones de un total de 29 pósteres. La opinión de nueve docentes se analizó mediante entrevistas semiestructuradas. Los resultados evidencian una valoración muy positiva de 9.4 y aportan propuestas de mejora para futuras ediciones.
