Abstract: The advances achieved in manufacturing engineering have been remarkable during the last twenty years. The computer science and the information technologies have been implemented in the contemporary manufacturing engineering industries. Teaching in manufacturing fields must enable the engineers to carry out the rapidly changing industry. In general, students expect to use skills they acquire in the courses as soon as they graduate. The challenge to educators is to produce a course that is flexible and based on information technologies. The traditional attitude to learning needs has to be changed. New modes of learning (distance education, web-based education, e-learning, part-time education) need to be further developed. Changes in the courses are necessary to adapt to the needs of labor market, to propose different modes of delivery and promote different types of skills (IT, advanced technologies, communication, flexibility). Partnership between universities and enterprises can take various forms in the education and in Research & Development (R&D) area.
