Jigsaw is an active learning technique that consists in dividing a learning material into partial tasks, and each partial task is assigned to one member of a jigsaw team. Each student has to complete the assigned partial task and has to compare the results obtained with students of other groups that made the same partial task. Finally, one of these partial tasks, which eventually will end up integrated by all of the jigsaw team members. Although Jigsaw was originally designed for non-university students, the systematic literature review presented in this paper aims to summarize the experiences reported in 19 selected papers that show the application of the jigsaw technique in engineering and computing programs (undergraduate or graduate). Our findings suggest jigsaw technique can be applied in engineering and computing programs with good results.
