The continuous growth of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) education has set intense pressure on well-established engineering subjects, with a trend of replacing them with less demanding theoretical contents. This paper describes recent teaching activities on mechanism and machine theory (MMT) at two universities in Italy aiming at delivering well-established fundamental theoretical contents with modern approaches. Examples are based on the teaching experiences of the authors at University of Calabria and at University of Campania. In particular, authors discuss successful examples of “learning-by-doing” strategies.

Abstract
The continuous growth of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) education has set intense pressure on well-established engineering subjects, with a trend of replacing them with less demanding theoretical contents. This paper describes recent teaching activities on mechanism and machine theory (MMT) at two universities in Italy aiming at delivering well-established fundamental theoretical contents with modern approaches. Examples are based on the teaching experiences of the authors at University of Calabria and at University of Campania. In particular, authors discuss successful examples of “learning-by-doing” strategies.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
