Abstract
The Mechanical Engineering, as a traditional area among other engineering, still counts on a lagged teaching system, based on theoretical classes. In this scenario, computing has constantly allowed the development of tools that support teaching, one of the most relevant being the WEB platform. This platform, based on the HTML5 standard, has considerably raised the creation of educational content. Thus, this work had the objective of studying the didatic potential of WEB applications with three-dimensional environments in the improvement of the teaching of Mechanical Engineering. For this, a survey was carried out among the course’s students about the current state of use of these tools in the classroom. In addition, we described the state of the art of using the WEB platform from systematic research in the literature and, finally, presented some examples of WEB applications that can be used to improve teaching. It was concluded that such applications, supported by the majority of students, have didactic potential, and can lead to an effective improvement of learning by simulating practical situations not previously experienced by the students, motivating them and facilitating the fixation of the studied contents.
