Experience in distributed virtual collaborative engineering is becoming more and more important as the use of advanced communication and information technologies is transforming engineering companies. To prepare students for this new reality and to respond to corporate demand, universities must begin to incorporate ‘virtual collaborative engineering’ concepts and ‘e-engineering’ technologies into their curricula. In this paper, design, implementation and assessment of a multidisciplinary freshman engineering and technology course is discussed. The aim of the course is to provide students with the necessary skills and practices in the latest methodologies and technologies to apply in a virtual collaborative engineering environment.

Knowledge Structuring

The rapid development of science, technology, and information technologies in various sectors of the economy imposes increased requirements and expectations in the preparation of engineering professionals in higher education. In recent years, there have been some difficulties in engineering and technology training related to the assimilation of the methodology for constructive thinking, the development of clear and precise knowledge structuring, improvement of the ability of expressing thoughts, and graphical presentation of information.This article presents some applications and best practices in the use of e-learning systems, interactive boards, and accessories. The application of active teaching methods and use of information technologies with interactive tools, providing active involvement of the students in training, leads to considerable interest and improvement in the quality of teaching and learning.

This paper introduces an approach to OWL-based hybrid product knowledge model for collaborative engineering environment. The participants in collaborative engineering want to share and reason product knowledge through internet without any heterogeneity and ambiguity. In this paper, the hybrid product knowledge model is proposed using first-order logic(FOL), relational database(RDB) and web ontology language(OWL) according to a formal ontology. Our knowledge model can be used to develop an integrated knowledge-base which reduces heterogeneity and ambiguity. Firstly, the collaborative engineering domain is analyzed and then the product knowledge is organized into four levels such as product context model, product specific model, product design model and product manufacturing model. Secondly, the four levels are represented by FOL in layered fashion. The concepts and the instances of a formal ontology are used for recursive representation of the four levels. The instances of the concepts of an upper level like product context model are considered as the concepts of an adjacent lower level like product specific model, and this mechanism is applied to the other levels. Thirdly, these logic representations are integrated with the schema and the instances of a relational database. Finally, OWL-based product knowledge model is developed, in which OWL representation of the four levels are defined through the integration of the logic representation and OWL primitives. Thus, a hybrid product knowledge model is constructed, in which the four product knowledge models have their major representation such as FOL, RDB, or OWL according to the characteristics of each model. This approach enables engineer to share product knowledge through internet reducing ambiguity, and utilize it as basis for additional reasoning.
