Several factors which influence the“digital divides” will be analyzed and evaluated. Several factors like the organizational failure ofthe Council for Mutual Economic Assistance, suppressed in 1990, whose main goal was toorganize economic specialization and cooperation of member countries16, multi national securityfor the acquisition of high technology, governmental priorities, restricted access to PCs, PCversus mainframe technology and current influencing factors like disparity of the cost of PCs andInternet access world wide, language barriers, 90% of information resources located
removed from a block or a billet. AM developed out of rapidprototyping technologies, invented thirty years ago. The pace of evolution of the technology toadditive manufacturing is noteworthy caused mainly by quality and value addition which Additivemanufacturing proposes in the product development process: shorter lead times, less waste, andcompetitive products. With the emergence and proliferation of the technology, there is an increaseddemand of workforce which can understand principles of Additive manufacturing processes andoptimally apply it to solve real life world problems.This paper investigates existing efforts in Additive manufacturing education and its implicationsin engineering education research.

In contrast, the classical academic model starts with basicscience and may (if there is time) briefly cover a few practical applications. In theTeaching Factory, practical applications are not optional. Our partnership aims tograduate technicians soundly prepared in technology principles, work habits, and tool andprocess skills that they can contribute to a company’s bottom line on the day they arehired.ChallengesA major challenge

We will discuss our approach for the learning ofMathematics, which arises from our research experience in Mathematics Education. We will alsocomment about the production expertise in AR in our institution, in order to build a teachingresource for the learning of Calculus. Describe the entire application considering its three levels.We will also deepen in the second level, intended to the visualization of solids of revolution,explaining how they expect to help students understand this topic usually in the second year ofCalculus in college, when the concept of Integral is used to calculate the volume

Students also complete a personality profile (i.e., Myers-Briggs). Based on thesequestionnaires, the professors assign the students to multi-disciplinary teams in which they workfor the remainder of the semester. The teams are given three project assignments. The first is toresearch and find a new emerging technology and select a real company that might logically beinterested in this type of technology. They are asked to prepare a written proposal to“management” describing the technology, asking for specified development funding andresources and justifying this

Students for a Successful Transition from Academia: An Industry PerspectiveAbstractUniversities have traditionally partnered with industry to identify emerging areas for research,emphasize key technology topics within curricula, and provide students with practicalcooperative learning experiences. College students are typically presented with opportunities tocultivate their communication, problem solving, and teamwork skills as a standard part of theirapplied science, computing, engineering, or technology programs.

Ifaccurate, these projections can be of great benefit to us as educators, simply due to the impact ofthis technology on today’s industrial products, and, therefore, society as a whole. Industryconsultants have stated, “Eighty percent of the manufacturing gross national product passesthrough CAD, CAM, and CAE systems at some point. Every

The application of RP methods to the fabrication of customized molds,dies, and tools used to produce parts is called Rapid Tooling17-21. The opportunities forsignificant growth of RP technologies have increased recently since different industries are nowbeginning to use RP in direct production, and consequently the term direct digital manufacturing(DDM) emerged. DDM has a vast potential to become the next technological trend as it candevelop novel products and processes in markets of strategic importance to the United States (i.e.medical, defense, and electronics).

The use of new technologies has dramatically changed social conditions, and its rapid rateis causing new problems and issues that test our values [1]. The invention of email has made itpossible for instant communication all over the world, but it has also opened the door forphishing scams to steal financial information. The World Wide Web provides access to a wealthof information on all kinds of topics, but it also exposes children to inappropriate content likepornographic websites. It gives us a good reason why we need to make ethical decisions,weighing the benefits and potential harms associated with the use of new technology.As many issues in

As the program grew, formal researchstudies emerged.

Although, initially, learning communities were informal and members met face-to-face [12], nowadays, organizations have encouraged the use of LCs by formalizing theirexistence [14], and facilitating their operations through modern ICTs [15
