The Technological Tools in the Teaching of Industrial Design

Abstract

This paper offers a vision of how education is changing since the introduction of technological tools. Based on a documental research approach, the use of applied science and technology in education is proposed in order to improve the training and instruction of students based on knowledge and learning. The use of ICT should not be seen as a requirement , but as a must in Universalization so that students are able to achieve a higher level of scientific development, a development that is fair and sustainable. The programs of studies in the area of industrial engineering are no exception to this reality: IT has made calculation and design faster and easier. Hence, new professionals are needed in the job market, people who understand and operate systems that help them perform more efficiently, people who use design tools like AutoCAD, model a building using 3ds Max, or design a steering box for a car using SolidWorks.
