Utilização de um programa computacional como ferramenta para a melhoria da relação de ensinoaprendizagem.

Abstract

The speed in the emergence of new technologies requires that the university innovate in the teaching-learning relationship, since professionals are required to have skills that allow them to keep up with the pace of market development. Computational tools can be used as alternatives to provide the student with a practical application of the theoretical knowledge learned in the classroom. However, in order to be used, it is necessary for the teacher to take time to instruct students in its use, since many have difficulties in learning them on their own. With this problem in mind, we sought to find an alternative to facilitate the application of CAD (Computer Aided Design)/CAM (Computer Aided Manufacturing) tools specifically within the discipline of Traditional Machining and CNC Processes (PTUC). Therefore, the objective of this work is the elaboration of a tutorial file with procedures for using the Siemens NX software, in order to convey a method of approximating the Mechanical Engineering student with practical knowledge, enabling a reduction of the negative impacts generated by the absence of practical classes and current measures of social distance. First, we sought to identify the level of knowledge of students in relation to such tools, through a questionnaire carried out in Google Forms. Subsequently, a tutorial file was structured and created with procedures for using the Siemens NX software, in order to help improve the teaching-learning relationship, in addition to stimulating students' creativity and autonomy. It was found that the biggest problems for learning such tools are the lack of access to the software, the lack of a professional to answer questions and the lack of material for study. Thus, it is concluded that the tutorial is relevant to the development of the course and discipline.
