Aplicação do uso do Kit Mola como material didático no ensino de Engenharia Estrutural

Abstract

The bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering at the Instituto Federal de Goiás campus Jataí, has in its curriculum, subjects for structural analysis, being possible to calculate the deformation of a column or beam, for example, in addition to the dimensioning of hardware to support the stresses of structural loads, among other issues. The fact is that specaly because of this, they are very theoretical subjects and full of calculations. By understanding the difficulty and complexity of these subjects and also their importance in the training of qualified professionals for the job market in this area, the spring kit was used as a teaching material and consequently a contribution to the teaching of the behavior of the structures, being possible the visualization just as real of the deformations suffered by the structure due to loads applied on it, in addition to seeing theoretical concepts such as: traction and compression in the parts. Based on the results obtained after the classes, it is concluded that the mola Kit is an excellent didactic support for the teacher and, above all, a powerful tool for learning structures.
