Abstract

Teaching activities in MMS field has a long tradition at both Polytehnica University of Timişoara and University of Cassino and South Latium. The paper shows a comparative study regarding the evolution of teaching mechanism theory with the curricula, representative professors and teaching materials in both universities, with challenges for the future.
