Abstract: The current article describes project implementation in Second Chance Schools [SCSs] of Greece, as good practice of project management in Greek adult educational system. It presents SCSs structure, explains why this technique is appropriate due to the specificities these schools have and due to the innovative methods that are used. It also describes the flow of basic processes and sets out the institutional framework (formative assessment, existence of portfolio etc) under which project management is compulsory. In addition, it gives examples of project implemented in various SCSs all over Greece and finally, it sets the conditions required so that project is correctly applied, aiming at effective learning of adult learners.

Abstract: Drilling is considered to be one of the mostly used processes for holemaking. Researchers have followed different approaches for the drilling simulation. Different mathematical tools offer a great deal of help in describing difficult 3D equations in space. Due to the continuous onward usage of CAD systems in all industries, new applications based on the Application Programming Interface (API) that each one offers, are under development. The present paper uses a general purpose CAD system and its API in order to create a kinematic model that parametrically controls the twist drill tool geometry. Introducing different tool parameters and cutting conditions, a series of 3D solid models for the tool, the workpieces and the undeformed chips are created and the resulted thrust forces can be predicted in both the main edges and the chisel edge. The proposed methodology is experimentally verified and provides the basis for a series of new applications in manufacturing
