Teaching Product Design and Drawing History
were traditionaly made on boards by hand. In recent times a new inflection appears on
the stage when the programs with an analytical parametric design philosophy and
characteristics were introduced. The emergence of this kind of software impacts again on
the traditional teaching of engineering drawing, putting in the hands of students and from
the early stages of their studies a tool that necessarily leads them to get involved in
aspects of design, even in the case when the expected goal is just to get a drawing. At the
same time, the representations under international drawing standards became so simple
as we could never have imagined before. This paper tells how the decisions were made to
move towards a new paradigm of computer aided representation and how it was
integrated to the concepts already present in the syllabus of the subject by means of tasks
that imply the analysis of a mechanical system, its representation, the proposal of
modifications on it, and the development of a technical report.

Abstract:
The research and development of modern products and systems is coined by the
increasingly important requirement to create sustainable innovation. Innovation is
intimately linked with entrepreneurship. Research, Innovation and Entrepreneur¬ship are
considered the keys to a wealthy and sustainable economy. The best way to turn research
into innovations is to consider key innovation factors from the earliest phases of research
all along the way to products and services. Existing entrepreneurship study and training
programs, however, do not take into account these early phases, but rather focus on the
process of creating a new enterprise. This paper presents key results of ResEUr, a
European Project that has conceived and implemented a unique e-Learning enabled
training and EU-wide certification program to sensitize young researchers for innovation
and entrepreneurship in our modern environment.
