Section 6.2. Virtual Teams overviewTeamwork has been essential for teaching students; it is appealing and stimulates thedevelopment of professional abilities. With the advancement of technology and globalization, theuse of Virtual Teams is growing, leading to important changes and innovations in education.Virtual Teams are “groups whose participants use information technology in functioningthroughout locational, sequential, and interpersonal restrictions to undertake a codependentassignment” 6. The use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) forcollaboration is mandatory in Virtual Teams. Developed projects are short-term, with a focus ininnovation. Groups are small, with members located in different places. In this regard

Open source software technology depends on collaborative work among people from all over the world, therefore, students in developing nations can gain their experiences while they are contributing to open source projects and earn their degrees while they are at their home county and no need to travel to study abroad. Schools can utilize STEM open source for teaching that leads to build robust education for students and help build their future and move out of poverty.In this paper we discuss Open source as tools and applications to enhance students learning inSTEM education.

Such a new objective for today is the management and practical implementation ofinnovative projects, which requires new approaches and new specialists. Commercializationof innovative projects becomes the most relevant objective for all members of the process.No positive results can be achieved without a profound analysis of the proposed project andits highly professional operative management

best knowledge of the authors, this has never beenexperimented in other institutes. To provide the best learning experience for our students and totake advantage of the MakerSpace (a new facility that was recently set up in SCUPI), the idea ofa SCUPI Derby, which was modeled after the well-known US Boy Scouts’ Pinewood Derby [1],was assigned to our students as the final project. What is different from the Pinewood Derby isthat the model car of our project would be made from 3D printing instead of elaborating on apinewood block. To prepare our students for this challenging task, SolidWorks has been used asthe main design tool. Not only the concept of concurrent engineering was introduced in the earlystage of the class, but also the technology

Similarly, undergraduateteaching labs, such as those that might support a mechatronics course, were (and sometimes stillare) treated as single-purpose resources for experiments and projects related to that course.Makerspaces are
