Abstract
The aim of this paper is to present a reformed approach to the teaching practice of the Machine Design course offered in the Mechanical Technology Programme at the Technological University of Pereira. The course combines the concepts of rational selection of materials and strength of materials with the procedures to be followed to shape and dimension the classical elements presented in machinery and mechanical systems. Active learning, hands-on activities, laboratory sessions, practical examples, projects, teamwork and technological and virtual resources are used as a means to achieve effectively the learning outcomes. An important goal is to integrate strength and stiffness calculations with the engineering design process, including conceptual design, creativity, optimization, detail design and documentation. The use of technological tools, minor and main course projects, along with practical activities in the laboratory, are supposed to enhance the teaching process and help students acquire the desired competencies.
