The last issue of 2014 of the Scientia cum Industria gathers the articles referring to posters presented at the 3rd Science and Mathematics Education Symposium, held on July 22, 2014, at the University of Caxias do Sul. The Symposium aimed to promote a forum of discussion and updating and also to contribute to continuing education of science and math high school teachers. The Symposium was organized by the Science and Math Graduate Program of University of Caxias do Sul and sponsored by the Engineer of Future project.
The authors of the articles are science and math teachers and they report their successful experiences on the learning process at formal and nonformal education environments.
The organizing committee of the Symposium thanks the editors of Scientia cum Industria by allowing the dissemination of work performed by teachers and thus share with the educational community their experiences in order to improve the pedagogical practice in favor of a quality education.

The journal "Scientia Cum Industria" is arriving as a vehicle for science dissemination, done with care and dedication, initially prepared at the University of Caxias do Sul, but ready to be taken by the world. At present, with Internet, what is done at home can also be quickly seen by the rest of the world. Therefore care is important as we are judged by peers; and the old craftsman, working at the backyard, has now an international audience. It is a time for more responsibility, not less as might appear at first sight! The journal's name comes from that ideal: "Scientia" is science, "cum" means “with”, and "industry" means care (or ‘zeal”), among other things. The "industry" cognate carries this meaning in some sense, as a synonym for diligence and skill. Here, in the region of Caxias do Sul, there are many industries that grew up from small businesses and, with diligence, ardor and care, became what they are today. We wish a similar fate for this magazine. We hope to accomplish this endeavor with dedication (rem obire cum industria), and we are asking you, reader, to help us realizing this project with your dedication as well. Please, submit any job of yours to the magazine; not smaller jobs, but any work that you find interesting. The journal is open, the world can read it. Let the world judge your work, and write it with this idea in mind, as we intend to judge it with the same care that we consider any work. We hope that, keeping this ideal in mind, we will build a strong and lasting journal.
