Ambiente computacional interativo para auxílio do processo de ensino aprendizagem de matemática básica

A aprendizagem é um processo continuo permeado por construções e reconstruções do conhecimento, com a inserção do computador no processo de ensino aprendizagem, juntamente com a análise das abordagens da Psicologia Educacional e Educação Matemática, foi possível, neste trabalho, a elaboração de um prototipo computacional voltado para o auxilio a aprendizagem da matemática. Este prototipo e um ambiente computacional interativo para auxiliar o aprendizado das quatro operações básicas (adição, subtração,multiplicação e divisão). Assunto este de grande repercussão no ambiente escolar, pois se não aprendido adequadamente, apresenta sérios problemas na evolução do aprendizado matemático do estudante. O trabalho envolve quatro etapas: Aspectos teóricos sobre o processo de ensino aprendizagem, dando-se maior ênfase a abordagem construtivista; Processo de ensino aprendizagem de Matemática, suas dificuldades e perspectivas de mudanças mediante ao aprendizado auxiliado por meios computacionais; concepção e modelagem do prototipo seguido dos Resultados obtidos durante aplicações do mesmo, resultados esses favoráveis a proposta inicial do trabalho.

A utilização das tecnologias assistidas por computador como elemento de integração, pesquisa e desenvolvimento nas disciplinas de projeto para a engenharia e design

The use of technologies called computedassisted, such as CAD - (Computed Aided Design), CAM - (Computed Aided Manufacturing) and CNC - (Computed Numerical Control), increasingly demanded by the market, are needed in the teaching of subjects technical drawing and design courses for engineering and design. However its use findl barriers in the more conservative wing of the academy, who advocate the use of traditional drawing, for the settling of the concepts and the development of spatial reasoning. This study aimed to show the results obtained with the design and production of an apparatus for measuring a three-dimensional computer-aided milling machine, interaction, integration and consolidation of concepts, fully demonstrating that the learning of computer-assisted technology is possible, and its use is most appropriate, meaningful and productive, than the use of instruments in the classic design.

O engenheiro como construtor e reconstrutor no mundo

The formation of an engineer in each one of the several categories of this field must initially be related with their holistic training. If it they are working with teaching, this relation becomes even greater, because the professors need to teach and educate their students making them use these teachings in order to improve the society and the environment as a whole. The engineer must be engaged with the social problems in a context composed by human being and society, especially the contributions given to the mentioned society. According to Ferraz (198 MN3), "the engineering function is to design social institutions, rebuild them and ensure that the existing ones are operating". According to the same author, this action is gradual and must go step by step, always being concerned with social values, by comparing the achieved results and the ones that were expected.

Projeto ergonômico de assento para tratores, utilizando-se dos recursos da computação gráfica

Regardless its power rate, the tractors are the most used source in operations of tillage. Thus, due to the expansion of cultivated areas and the need of striking application of technologies to meet the advance of agribusiness, it has been shown that these machines are concentrated during the work periods, the physical and mechanical actions to perform the activity. So, it's possible to realize that the time of physical exposures and the operational decision-making are related with the job station comfort. In regard to what was mentioned, this paper's main objective is to design an ergonomically viable seat to furnish the operational requirements of the tractor driver, using the new CAD / CAE technologies in order to provide optimal comfort to the relationship between human being and machines.
