Abstract |
Some topics foreseen in Materials Science courses in Mechanical Engineering career could be presented in a
deeper way and successfully understood by students if they are treated in a special teaching style during Physics
courses.
This interdisciplinary work required the identification of the related topics and the definition of its treatment
within Physics subjects. That included planning and designing of academic activities, innovations in the
evaluation system, organization of student scientific work in the first semesters. Such didactic treatment increases
the motivation of the students since initial semesters and contributes to raise the professional skills of the future
engineer.
