RESUMEN: Los proyectos de los estudiantes basados en casos históricos ofrecen oportunidades para incrementar el conocimiento técnico, la motivación, la confianza, el trabajo en equipo y el auto aprendizaje constante. Dichos proyectos pueden ser usados por estudiantes de pre-grado y post-grado para incrementar la experiencia del aprendizaje. Estos atributos son cada vez más importantes ya que los empleadores y autoridades regulatorias se están encaminando a una combinación basada mas ampliamente de estudiantes de pre-grado y aquellos con estudios de post-grado o con entrenamiento especifico en la práctica.
