This paper will discuss an evolution story for the two project/problem based project design courses that are run in the School of Mining Engineering at The University of New South Wales as part of Mining Education Australia (MEA) program. Based on the implementation strategies: group formation, assessment restructuring and peer assessment tools, student satisfaction and achievement improved for both the courses.

Artykuł omawia przebieg dwóch kursów uczelnianych opracowanych na podstawie projektu/problemu, które prowadzone są w Szkole Inżynierii Górnictwa na Uniwersytecie Nowej Południowej Walii w Australii w ramach programu Mining Education Australia (MEA). W oparciu o strategie realizacyjne: budowanie zespołu, narzędzia do zmiany zasad oceniania oraz oceny porównawczej, na obu kursach poprawie uległy satysfakcja jak i osiągnięcia studentów.
