Universities advocate the application of Problem- Based Learning as a didactic strategy to deal with real problems, stimulating the development of problem-solving skills and attitudes. The research contemplates the survey technique using the questionnaire as an instrument. The case study is the subject Electronic Business developed during the semesters of 2019 B and 2020 B in the laboratory sessions. Some previous results and the results of the present work are shown, which reveal the greater degree of impact of applying PBL by students in the development of competences in the area of Systems Engineering. In conclusion, it is possible to identify the competences developed to solve problems that are acquired by the students when applying PBL in the laboratory sessions of the subject under study and thus help to reduce the gap that may sometimes exist between training at university and professional practice in organizations.
