It is important to understand that this Bologna Process is the result of multiplereflections and analysis promoted by national and supranational work groups andpersonalities. From these the need of a paradigm change arises, not only in educationalstructures, but also in thought and knowledge creation.The learning process will lead students to acquire personal, academic and professional skills.These skills will play a fundamental role for the individual and for his integration in society.The focus of the learning-teaching process will shift towards the student and his particularprogress will serve as a point of reference.

In this framework the design process is completed in fivesteps: 1) A student’s initial learning occurs through interactions with the faculty and teaching assistants (experts) in a social setting- the design class or lab. This type of learning is collective and public and represented by Quadrant #1. Students first seek to understand the design process and their project through social interactions in the classroom, laboratory, or within a team. 2) Next the team analyzes the design project and breaks it down to component tasks. At this stage students become individually responsible for particular

Many topics inengineering curricula rely on visual components to help convey concepts that are difficult todescribe in purely text-based form. Adding animation to visual components only serves toenhance the learning experience even further. Bringing animation to raw data plotted in acolorful three-dimensional graph brings life to otherwise static numerical information.Simulation and animation can be utilized by an instructor to illustrate concepts in a classroomsetting or by students to solve problems in a laboratory setting.The use of animation provides a method to model and
