The ICT as a Teaching Aid in the Formation of Professional Competence Within Engineering Students

Abstract

In present days, the application of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in teaching processes has made great changes in engineering teaching. In this article, the possibilities that the application of ICTs offers in the educational process as a teaching aid are exposed. In the career of Mechanical Engineering during the courses of Machine Elements Design some ICTs application as a teaching medium are used in a systematic and consistent manner. After which, the impact of its application is evaluated with regard to the formation of professional competence within mechanical engineering students.
