摘要：Within the university study program that trains of the future engineers in the field of manufacturing engineering, in the Romanian technical universities, there are matters that aim at familiarizing students with the way of solving certain problems of constructive and/or technological design. Such a matter, called cold pressing technology, has been included in the last years of the license studies. In the context of the project activity at this matter, as a theme to be solved, the student usually receives the responsibility of designing a mold for the cold-pressing of pieces of various shapes, for large series production, starting from sheet type workpiece. The passing of successive design stages gradually leads the student to elaborate a project that includes an assembly drawing and some mechanical drawings as final documents related to the received project theme. It was considered that by using some principles of axiomatic design, it is possible to investigate and define more clearly the objectives of the project activity in the field of cold pressing technology. The analysis allowed a clearer definition of functional requirements and the identification of solutions to improve the quality of future engineer training activities concerning to project activity in the field of cold pressing technology.
