Abstract
Lately it has been discussed how Engineering education could evolve in recent years. Some teaching techniques have emerged in order to improve the teaching-learning experience within the Engineering courses, in addition to developing technical and social skills in the students. The present work aims at presenting a interactive classroom activity that made use of active methodologies to facilitate the understanding of subjects such as the Exponential distribution of the discipline of Centered-Reliability Maintenance in the undergraduate course in Mechanical Engineering at Universidade Federal Rural de Pernambuco Campus UACSA. To accomplish the interactive activity, the students were divided into groups where they simulated a production line of a candy. After the simulation, the obtained data were collected, analyzed and discussed in the room, using concepts of reliability systems. The concepts of exponential distribution were used as the basis for the analysis of the results. In addition to the analyses carried out, a growing interest and understanding of the concepts addressed in the lecture were observed, when the students themselves were able to relate the theory to its practical meaning. It is worth emphasizing that the interactive activity can be applied in other subjects related to the discipline, covering the entire discipline, and can be replicated to others. It was also observed the improvement of students' transversal skills, such as: teamwork, sense of organization, verbal and written communication, leadership and management practices.
