With the aim of better understanding the ideas to be discussed, a short explanation ofthe framework the Brazilian engineering education system will be presented.The ‘Brazilian Engineering Education System Brazilian engineering education has traditionally been influenced by developed countries. In a first stage,from the second half of the nineteenth century up to 1950, the major contributions to Brazilian engineeringprograms has originated in Europe, especially France. Therefore, nowadays there are still some similaritiesbetween Brazilian engineering programs and European engineering programs, such as the five years required

There is a need tochange the engineering curriculum and create courses that will give future workforce engineersthe skills that manufacturing companies are searching for. One of the concepts that are trying tobe utilized is creating online courses1, 2 ; for the objective presented here the online technology isused but with a different approach than just a regular online course. In this paper, the idea is toexplain, implement, and further enhance engineering education with a different program for theIndustrial, Manufacturing and Systems Engineering department and the Mechanical EngineeringDepartment at the University of Texas at El Paso.

By using software to support active learning, faculty can use a variety of methods toengage student during a lecture, moving far beyond simple questions and answer. These TabletPC/software systems allow students to privately ask the instructor questions, to report theirstatus, and, under faculty control, ask questions of other students through “chatting.” Moreimportantly, however, faculty can pose problems to students, have the student generate solutions,and return those solutions to the faculty member, who can display selected responses or evaluatethem in real-time.By using these different methods to engage students in problem

Further, according to [4], “Even whenopportunities for faculty to learn about research-supported educational strategies arise throughworkshops, webinars, and presentations, various forms of resistance remain intact. Theseinclude lack of resources, faculty skepticism toward alternative teaching strategies, facultytrepidation of negative teaching evaluations and engineering faculty mistrust in educationalexperts from outside the engineering disciplines.”Today, higher education (and specifically engineering programs) must rise to the challenge andincrease awareness of issues regarding diversity; students must be informed citizens.
