This work was realized with the forth group of undergraduate students in the Industrial Maintenance Technology, in the discipline of Maintenance of Thermal Machines. The purpose of this text was to study the influence of adoption of active methodologies on learning and on performance evaluation of undergraduate students. The methodology applied consisted of proposing the elaboration of an investigative work by students, whose researched themerequired a presentation as soon as the determined time for work was finished. In order to evaluate the presentations examination benches were designed, which were composed by students of this own discipline. As a result, one can verify a significant improvement of performance and, consequently, of learning by students, comparatively with the two first groups of students of this discipline. We concluded that incentive for research and to grant to students the responsibility to share knowledge and to evaluate the colleagues, the efforts in the studies is intensified, what impacts in a positive way in their learning and performance.
