Cooperative learning organizes students into groups where they work together and in coordination to conduct academic activities so that individual learning and collective learning reinforce each other. It describes the development of a cooperative activity that integrates the contents of the university subject "Product Engineering". A model is presented to structure the activity and a set of cooperative dynamics to motivate and promote student participation, enhance learning and develop cross-cutting competencies such as lifelong learning and social competence. A questionnaire was applied to collect student perception in relation to the activity; it is concluded that students value this way of work positively, although they recognize that it involves a higher workload, they believe that it helped them relate theory to practice and achieve a better understanding of concepts and procedures.
