Active learning is all pedagogical alternatives that place the focus of learning on thestudents. With the mediation of competent teachers, the students learn by discovery, by investigation,and by problems. Such methodologies commonly promote more content retention and comprehensiononce the students are engaged in activities, whether through research, group collaborations, discussion,and problem solving. This work aimed to verify the temporal evolution of active learning methods inhigher education Engineering courses, based on a systematic mapping of the literature. We observedwhich are the main researchers in this field, their geographic location and which methodologies arepreferred in the context of these courses. From the results, we observe a growth of scientific publications on active learning methodologies and Engineering Education, especially in the last five years of the periodanalysed (between 2015 and 2020). We also see researchs on this field in all continents, with apredominance of studies led by American and European researchers. In the mapped studies, the invertedclassroom and problem-based learning were the most identified methodologies. It demonstrates aconcern of teachers in this area to promote activities with high involvement, which allow thedevelopment of personal and professional skills and competencies, even during their training period.
