Abstract

In this paper we present some experiences of working in collaborative environments in engineering studies. We also show the combined potential of those environments when involving the use of videoconferencing as a quality element in learning and as a simulation of professional work environments. The shown experiences have been applied in studies of Industrial Engineering and Aeronautical Engineering at Industrial and Aeronautical Engineering School of Terrassa (ETSEIAT).
