Teaching Experience on Metal Forming Processes through Case Study Methodology

Article Preview

Abstract:

The aim of this contribution is to promote the use of FEM based numerical simulations for teaching the fundamentals of manufacturing processes. In particular, it focuses on metal forming processes, which by their mathematical modelling complexity can only be tackled in a very elementary way using traditional methods. This enables an active teaching based on realistic problem solving, through which students acquire both theoretical and practical knowledge on the subject. This approach is consistent with the guidelines of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) on the use of participatory learning tools.
