Research regarding the implementation of an interactive application for educational improvement of engineering drawing

Abstract

Abstract In the current European university reform teacher‐based education is replaced by another form of teaching, which is more focused on the students. To facilitate this task, a self‐learning‐oriented application called AIMEC‐DT was developed. This article discusses, by means of an educational experience, the advantages of using these types of interactive tools adapted to achieve that goal. The results obtained allow us to conclude that their use can be a significant improvement in teaching in engineering. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Comput Appl Eng Educ 19: 183–192, 2011
