To the project implementation a Website (www.webd.etsii.upm.es) has been developed including all the educational materials. Four types of materials have been added:  textual educational material,   2D graphics, ·  3D interactive Web3D models, Tests in order to allow the user the access to the advanced modules.

The contents of the pages was in pages ASP (1000 pages), with use of Web3d technology to embed the 3D models in the modules.

Within the course on biomechanics the following subjects have been developed:

·  Basic level: What it is biomechanics, CAD, image processing in Biomechanics for biomechanics.
·  Advanced level: Prosthesis of hip and Prosthesis of Zygoma.

The subjects developed for the design engineering module are:

·  Basic level: Descriptive geometry, basic Drawing, Drawing of basic sets and CAD.

· Advanced level: dimensional tolerances, geometric and MMP and standardized elements.

Around 2,000 Web3D models have been elaborated. In them, the user can make zoom, pan and rotate the worlds. Also these graphics can interact with the user and execute several actions. To visit the contents it is necessary to make a previous test that identifies to the user as advanced student or no. If the user does not shows enough level he must access to the basic level. It is only possible to access at the advanced level when the user has passed the test of the corresponding level. The control access and the management of the advance of the users by means of tests are made by ASP routines. link to the website. .
