ICEM Conference 2017

The project SP4CE (Strategic Partnership for Creativity and Entrepreneurship) is a response to the needs identified in the Bruges Communiqué on enhanced European cooperation in vocational education and training for the period 2011 - 2020. The SP4CE project involves 6 partner organizations from 4 countries -  including Poland, Slovakia, Hungary and Greece. In order to implement the SP4CE portal WordPress and Moodle have been used. WordPress provides information and training materials in five languages: English, Greek, Polish, Slovak and Hungarian. Moodle allows the collaboration of consultants, teachers and students from different universities using the concept of Learning Rooms. An example of using the SP4CE platform, among others, can be the process of preparation of materials for the training conferences, workshops, intercollegiate projects, scientific circles' websites, diploma works, PhDs etc., and also the effects of these works.
The SP4CE project supports the following actions:
• Coaches from companies formulate and submit the problem.
• Students from different location chose problem(s), look for a solution and send a short proposal.
• Based on the proposed solutions mentors (teachers) are allocated to students and they assist the problem solving process within so-called Learning Rooms.
A Learning Room is a piece of space on the Moodle platform prepared for a select group of users - the team working on the project issue. By using appropriate tools, such as forums, wikis, chat rooms or a space to place material repositories in, the cooperation is fast, efficient and completely online.
The goal that connects all these units is an online collaboration, which will have a positive effect on the effectiveness of education and will contribute to the development of creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship.
The activities carried out within the framework of the SP4CE project contributed to the creation of an interdisciplinary project group connecting representatives of Gdansk University of Technology and Medical University of Gdansk, who use modern cooperation tools such as MoodleCloud and Autodesk Fusion 360.
Fusion 360 is a cloud-based CAD/CAM tool for collaborative product development. It enables exploration and iteration on product ideas and collaboration within distributed product development team. Fusion 360 combines organic shapes modelling, mechanical design and manufacturing in one comprehensive package.
During the workshop participants will get the basic knowledge about product designing in Autodesk Fusion 360 and will practice a skill of group collaboration through SP4CE and EMMA (the European Multiple MOOC Aggregator).
By the end of this 180-minute workshop successful participants will be able to:
• Navigate through the user interface of Autodesk Fusion 360
• Understand design process in Autodesk Fusion 360
• Create conceptual design and organic forms using T-Splines
• Design mechanical parts using solid modelling tools
• Create mechanical assemblies and motion studies
• Collaborate with other members of the project and manage the data in the cloud
• Create drawings and renderings

This workshop is a unique opportunity not only to learn how to design but also how to sustain this knowledge using tools for on-line learning.
