At this stage, the CAI software receives the geometric information of CAD and information representing the final product, obtained by a coordinate measuring machine, through a cloud of points. CAI compares the geometric errors between the real object with the CAD design and report on the regions with the geometrical deviations, considering the tolerances

**Modern Methods of Education, Research and** 

Today's society is characterized by extraordinary dynamics, information systems have revolutionized society and the pressure of change from all fields is increasingly pregnant upon individuals. More free access to information and to continuous education are the main solutions for the adaptation of individuals to social pressure. In today's complex society systems influence each other and it often happens that a discovery in a field be useful in other areas. The emergence of IT technologies is an obvious aid to education, design and

In the past, the teacher was the core of classical education; conversely, today's educational actions are focused on the students, everyone's role changes and educational methods have become fundamentally different. Starting from the idea that "a man is only old once he has given up learning ", experts in education seek to provide modern learning methodologies,

Design and research activities employ an increasing amount of information and communication technology, which is a huge step forward. However, the importance of involving the most valuable specialists in any field has not diminished. The customers have an increasingly active role in the design and research processes now, and whereas they used to take on a much less involved stance in the pass, nowadays the entire action is directed

The Internet (abbreviation of the American expression *"interconnected networks")* is the distribution environment of information and a communication channel between stakeholders (tutors, students, administrators, engineers, beneficiary etc.). There is a multitude of applications, such as: email, instant messaging, discussion forums, the World

In the technical literature, there are many definitions of the term "E-learning", all of which

In a broader sense, "E-learning" means "all educational situations in which ICT (Information
