BONDER - a didactic tool for consolidating knowledge on adhesive bonding technology
Main Article Content
Abstract
Adhesive bonding is increasingly used in industries like aerospace, automotive, naval, and railroad to meet EU climate and energy goals. This requires lighter, stronger, more durable, and environmentally friendly materials, which adhesive bonding can provide.
To address the growing need for skilled professionals, universities and technical courses offer training in adhesive bonding technology. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of a didactic tool in consolidating knowledge in this field.
The tool was designed to dynamically illustrate the principles of adhesive bonding and the potential defects associated with each manufacturing step. Two groups, one of researchers/experts and another of EAB course participants with varying educational backgrounds, evaluated the tool. Participants completed a questionnaire to provide feedback on the tool's impact and usability.
