The traditional system in college education, specifically in Mechanical Engineering, is not appropiate to deal with the ever increasing amount of knowledge. In this regard, and as an alternative, the Keller Methods can be considered as an innovation to the education system, based on independent learning; due to the fact that until now changes in higher education have been applied to a curse in Basic Mechanics in an Industrial Mechanics Associate Degree Program at the Universidad Tecnológica de Panamá, Centro Regional de Veraguas. This paper discuses about its implementation, and after two years of application, a comparative study on the academic performance of the students that were under the Keller Method and those under the traditional method is made; taking as a reference those curses with requeriments for registration.

In academic environment, generally, dynamic systems are approached from the point of view of continuos variable dynamic systems (CVDS). Only in very special cases, the other class of dynamic systems, i.e., discrete event dynamic systems (DEDS) are considered. However, most of the large-scaled and complex man-made systems requires control systems based on the concept of DEDS. One of the problem is the lack of an effective tool for assimilation of fundamental concepts involved in DEDS. Without a practical experience it is very difficult to understand the idea of "events", "conditions", "control object", "control realization device", etc. The existing didactic simulators and systems with programmable controllers are very limited to this goal because of their particularities. These tools do not consider a methodology for design of whole control systems neither a general technique to describe the control strategies. Therefore, we introduce an Integrated Environment for teaching and training of control systems for DEDS. The case of a manufacturing cell is used to exemplify the task of validation of control strategies developed in a systematic approach based on Production Flow Schema/Mark Flow Graph (PFS/MFG) technique.

Keywords: Discrete event dynamic systems, control system design, computer aided training system, PFS/MFG Methodology

The economic globalization brings a dramatic increase in the competition among companies. It emerges then the necessity to search higher competitive levels with the remodelling of the productive systems (with the substitution of obsolete equipment and acquisition of more labour qualification). These two factors are deeply correlated since new equipment is more complex, and handles a larger number of variables, demanding then, more qualified labour. This requered qualification of labour demands news methods of teaching and training to extend the escope of traditional methods, and simulation arises as a powerful tool for this goal. It allows the knowledge transmission in a richer and more interactive manner than expositive methods, with reduced cost when compared with real systems. It also prevents people and equipment from being exposed to some risks that normally are present at learning stage. This works aims at standing out the possibilities of improvement of the teaching process in engineering within academic and industrial environment using of simulation resources. Also comments on some cases where the simulation is used with success to teaching and training are made and, finally, a prognostic with the trends in development of simulators systems is presented.

CEP 13083-970 Campinas, Brasil - E-mail: ilmar@dpm.fem.unicamp.br

This work gives a pratical contribuition to the Dynamics of Nonlinear Multibody Systems. A methodology basead on Dynamics' principles and axioms formulated by Newton-Euler-Jourdain and computer animation techniques are presented with application to Satellite Dynamics. The main goal of combining animation techniches and dynamical simulation is to become easier understanding nonlinear motions and trajectories. Numerical results are presented in this paper in two diferents ways: graphically, illustrating the trajectories describes by the center of each satellite's face and by computer animations. Such animation are able to illustrate the criation of the mentioned trajectories. For qualitative experimental verifications of the nonlinear dynamics of satellites with internal rotors, a prototype is designed. It is mounted on a special support which allows three consecutives rotations (Kardan's angles). By means of this support it is possible to simulate phisically the satellite's attitude in a point of its stable orbit. This metodology based on dynamical modelling, numerical simulations techniques and prototype designing results in a very e#cient tool for engineering education.

The virtual reality is an advanced interface technique, in which the user can immerge, navigate and interact in a synthetic tridimensional computer generated environment. Through virtual reality software, it is able to shape mechanical apparatus, vehicles and devices, simulating the real behavior of the equipment. This diminishes costs and development cicles and allows training sessions with the virtual product. The virtual reality aids the CAD development system; the designer can interact, manipulate and validate his workpiece with the facilities provided by these tools. Following the idea of modelling and simulation, the new trend of simulators points at interactive and intelligent systems, in which will be widely used the virtual reality technique, allowing the user not only to interact with the system’s components during his "virtual function", but to immerge in the model giving more realism to the system and allowing a richer exploration of it. The virtual reality can also be applied on undergradute a courses helping in lectures on utilization of last generation machine tools, which are expensive and large and are not usually available at the universities.

COB867 RESISTÊNCIA DOS MATERIAIS, O NASCIMENTO DE UMA DISCIPLINA / STRENGTH OF MATERIALS, THE BIRTH OF A DISCIPLINE

Luiz Teixeira do Vale Pereira

Departamento de Engenharia Mecânica, UFSC, CEP 88.040-900, Florianópolis, Brasil - E-mail: teixeira@emc.ufsc.br

In this paper the bases of the Strength of Materials are discussed. To this aim, the epistemological foundations of this science are analyzed, especially in Da Vinci´s and Galilei´s works, when an understanding of the discipline´s constitution is attempted. Its birth is associated with an intensified relationship between theory and practice, sustained by laboratory-made idealizations of structural elements. These idealizations, by its turn, would be engaged with the very frame of the engineer´s profession. Engineering is understood as a body of ideas, compromised with paradigms which orients the actions of its practitioners.

In this work the argument that observation and interpretation in the technical area could be uncoupled, conceptually and in fact, is contested. The inter-relationships between these two actions are discussed, in order to question the researcher’s supposed neutrality in face of his work. Some metallographic and optical illusion images are analyzed in order to examplify the impossibility of this disengagement. The theoretical reference adopted includes the metallography specialist as belonging to a professional group aligned with steering paradigms of theoretical and practical procedures.

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the formation process of engineering teachers, pointing out some solutions for a problem that is becoming serious in this field. In the essay we assume that the present situation of engineering teaching in Brazil is demanding a look towards quality enhancement. The understanding that the possession of technical knowledge of a profession is a sufficient premisse to transform a legally graduated individual in a teacher is criticized. A formation process of egineering teachers for the technical field which tries to conciliate needed technical-professional qualifications with didactic-pedagogical ones is proposed.

SIDAM is under development at Instituto Superior de Engenharia do Porto in cooperation with Salvador Caetano (Portuguese Toyota). The project aim is two fold. It may be used in an industrial environment for diagnosis of malfunction engines and can also be use for didactic purposes in a mechanical engineering laboratory. The system contains a Knowledge Base with information about periodical maintenance and an historical database with the previous cases solved by the system. The data base of solved previous cases is used to collect statistics that guide future diagnosis. It is also possible to simulate the more typical set of electrical and mechanical malfunctions that affect the engines. It is known that any system in this domain has to deal with many different kinds of knowledge and information sources and use different types of inference processes. Artificial Intelligence techniques like Production Rules, Frames, probabilistic and mathematical models are among different knowledge representation formalisms which have been used to encode the domain knowledge. At the moment, project SIDAM is in the testing stage of development.
