Abstract

This research proposal aims to develop a practical simulation of shop floor, with the union of a didactic laboratory and a software. The specialized literature emphasizes the importance of both tools, separately, for teaching, but little is discussed about the benefits of the learning brought through the combination of these resources. In an attempt to remedy this gap in the literature, it is planned to develop a simulated practical environment of a shop floor to assist in the teaching of professional disciplines in the Production Engineering graduation course of Unesp / Bauru. It is therefore to develop an environment capable to improve the teaching in production engineering. (AU)
