When teaching the subject of Mechanical Technology, taught in the second year of Industrial Engineering, the most important factor is probably the ability to talk to students about the manufacturing technologies on which they plan to apply the knowledge and skills they acquire in other subjects.
The main objective of learning is the overview of the manufacturing process and to train the student to select a criterion for choosing the most suitable technology for the type of product being manufactured, and optimize its manufacturing process.
The best way for students to learn these concepts is to explain the concepts with a more global point of view (products which can be manufactured by selecting a particular technology and machines that allow it), gradually reaching a level of work with a
high degree of detail (calculations).

INTRODUCTION
The teacher must strive to ensure that classes are entertaining, conceptually complete, with a practical vision applied, and with an explicit link with the environment, school, certification and other subjects they are studying or intending to pursue.
It is also important to focus on the topics on the curriculum, and develop those which are connected to other subjects, with potential jobs to which they can transfer their knowledge and ability (the goal of certification), with businesses in the area, and so on.

EXPERIMENTAL
The ideas generated for the design of innovation are as follows:

• Creation of computer applications for resolving problems of each technology.
• Incorporating a graphical simulation that allows the student to understand the process completely.
• Real practical cases at the end of the magisterial lesson, explained by the teacher.
• Incorporation of lectures given by experts and / or alumni currently working on technologies explained is something that enriches the subject and motivates the student to continue in their daily work.
• Evaluating innovation.
• Educational Science Institute Surrey results.
• Increased number of practical examples in class.
• Requested copies of applications / direct download.

RESULTS
The evidence of good performance, by students and colleagues, are:
- Positive developments in surveys.
- Bancaja Awards for the direction of final drafts of end of degree projects. (5)
- Reports of companies who have recruited students of the subject.
- Increased tuition of the subject as a result of the recommendation of students who have previously studied the subject.

Finally, an average of 15 students´ final projects carried out in collaboration with companies close to the university result in mutually beneficial experiences for both student and company, often with the project being introduced into the company´s activities.
