Industrial maintenance is a key activity to be considered in the productive process. Despite its importance, the specific studies to train highly qualified professionals in industrial maintenance are null or rare. Therefore, this paper suggests the topics and subjects to be included in an University Curricula to train Industrial Maintenance Engineers. This paper focuses on a practical feature of the training by presenting an already tested Project Based Learning (PBL) methodology where the local companies are involved. Results show the feasibility of the methodology and specially suggest the implementation of this methodology into the proposed Maintenance Engineering Curricula.
