Abstract:
The intent of this paper is to focus on actual issues regarding the teaching experience, full course and tutorials, related to the discipline NUMERICAL METHODS, which is incorporated in the Curricula as mandatory, for almost each Faculty/ Department of the POLITEHNICA University of Bucharest, and other technical universities. From our previous and actual teaching experience, we can relate the changes regarding the structure of the Syllabus, i.e. its division in segments, correlated with the global educational system modification due to the Bologna process. The authors highlight the issues generated by such transformation, with prospects and challenges for the educators, from the graduates and employer's needs standpoint. The link between education and research is successfully proven by the abilities, skills and knowledge of a dedicated team, that has built and it is continuously developing an in-house Flight Simulator and a 3D Virtual reality Laboratory
