Abstract
Engineering education is a fruitful research issue due to the evolution produced in the Universities. The design and analysis of real mechanisms enhance the skills and knowledge acquired during the Mechanical Engineering degree. This paper show a teaching methodology based on the development of individual project and how it improves the students’ competences. We propose the design of an impact machine, because it is a multidisciplinary problem. To model the mechanism, a 3D Computer Aided Design software was used. This software helps to understand the mechanical system and the components involved in its assembly. The simulation of the movement and the working conditions are compared with a theoretical model. The understanding of this software is very important for professional engineers.
