| contents | [Context] Software Engineering (SE) education constantly seeks to bridge the gap between academic knowledge and industry demands, with active learning methods like Problem-Based Learning (PBL) gaining prominence. Despite these efforts, recent graduates struggle to align skills with industry needs. Recognizing the relevance of Industry-Academia Collaboration (IAC), Lean R&D has emerged as a successful agile-based research and development approach, emphasizing business and software development synergy. [Goal] This paper aims to extend Lean R&D with PBL principles, evaluating its application in an educational program designed by ExACTa PUC- Rio for Americanas S.A., a large Brazilian retail company. [Method] The educational program engaged 40 part-time students receiving lectures and mentoring while working on real problems, coordinators and mentors, and company stakeholders in industry projects. Empirical evaluation, through a case study approach, utilized structured questionnaires based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). [Results] Stakeholders were satisfied with Lean R&D PBL for problem-solving. Students reported increased knowledge proficiency and perceived working on real problems as contributing the most to their learning. [Conclusion] This research contributes to academia by sharing Lean R&D PBL as an educational IAC approach. For industry, we discuss the implementation of this proposal in an IAC program that promotes workforce skill development and innovative solutions. |
