ENGINEERING EDUCATION - ASSESSMENTS AND TOOLS IN TEACHING

In this paper it is presented a new method of working with students for realizing the projects of Machine Parts discipline from third year of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering. Many of our students have difficulties in dimensioning the calculations of the project and for that was done their organization in four groups of 5 students and one group of 4 students for studying. These groups have been guided by the final years and graduate students of master who have already realized the projects on Machine Parts. In this system were also involved specialists from production who have shown interest in student's performances and who graduate our Faculty of Mechanical Engineering. It was created, in this way, a teamwork involving both students from different academic years and specialists from production. The obtained results were very good, materialized in a very high percentage of students who were able to complete these projects that it means the used method has efficiency.
