Description: Introduction-Motivation: “Globalization, new technologies and demographic developments constitute an enormous challenge; one of the answers to this problem is the access to lifelong learning."(Ján Figel European Commissioner for Education, Training & Culture, 2004-2009) Access to lifelong learning can be solve using the e-learning systems. Information and communication technologies (ICT), properly used, contribute to the quality of education and training and to Europe’s move to a knowledge-based society. The universities have to know to respond on global problems and to be prepared to educate the specialist. Many of the new methods used in production engineering and in CA systems and technologies as rapid machining, virtual prototyping, CAD/CAM/CAE/CMMS are based on “e” (electronic) activities because reduce the time (time is becoming rapidly the most strategic topic of companies) and increase the quality of products without increasing the costs. E-learning comprises all forms of electronically supported learning and teaching. E-learning applications and processes include Web-based learning, computer-based learning, virtual classroom opportunities and digital collaboration. The main action lines of the e-learning systems in study area of production engineering are based on • Information and Communication Technologies (ICT): • Digital literacy as e-books, e-papers, e-courses, etc. • The teaching process must be based on e-presentations (slide-shows, paper show system, etc.). • Development of virtual laboratories especially in case of equipment’s with large dimensions. • Development of simulations for improves the functions parameters. • Using the virtual tests for find the possible errors in design. • Using the simulations for improve the maintenance and reliability of machines and equipment’s. • Implementation of virtual laboratories specific for each University and realization of virtual laboratory network between Universities.
