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).
