Technical Drawing

None.

  In classes, the expository method is used in the teaching/learning process of fundamental knowledge about technical drawing. Complemented by exercises on the subjects taught with a discussion of solutions.

  Objectives: Provide fundamental concepts that allow students to read, understand, interpret and create drawings and technical schemes, in orthogonal projections and in perspectives. It is also intended that they become aware of the main international standards associated with Technical Drawing and that they have knowledge of the latest 2D computer-aided design programs.

    Generic skills: Promote the exchange of ideas and discussion of problems and solutions; Develop self-learning habits and organization.

     Specific skills: Know how to interpret and create drawings and technical schemes, either using traditional means or using the latest 2D computer-aided design programs.

1. Basics.
Introduction to Drawing. Technical Drawing as a universal communication language. Technical drawing standards. Types of line. Drawing Sheets. Borders. Title blocks.  Part lists. Scales. 
2. Orthogonal projections
European and American Method. Selection of views. Auxiliary, partial, displaced and local views. Freehand drawing.
3. Cuts and sections.
Conventional interpretation. Cutting plane. Special cutting sections. Partial cutting sections. Elements that are not drawn with hatches in a section. Sections.
4. Dimensioning.
Elements of dimensioning. Dimensions insertion. Dimensioning criteria.
5. Perspectives.
Types of perspectives. Drawing of isometric perspectives. Drawing the isometric perspective of a circumference.
6. 2D Modeling with a computer-aided design (CAD) system
User interface. Constraints. Drawing and editing. Hatching. Dimensioning. Blocks.

 Students will be assessed in this curricular unit by final exam, where they will have to obtain a grade equal to or greater than 9.5/20, additionally there are minimums in each of the two modules that make up the curricular unit, where a grade equal to or greater to 7.5/20 values is required in each of them. Students will only be approved if in the exam, in one of the exam periods authorized by ISEC, they jointly meet the two previously defined criteria.

 The final grade is a weighted average where the percentages corresponding to the classes of each module are considered: Notions of Technical Drawing (70% of classes) and 2D Computer Aided Drawing (30% of classes).

  If a student fails the exam for the curricular unit in one of the exam periods, but has obtained a positive classification (equal to or greater than 9.5 out of 20 points) in one of the modules, that student is exempted from a new assessment of that module in the following exam period.

 If a student has passed the curricular unit and wishes to improve their classification in one of the following exam periods, the student will have to take the complete exam (i.e., the two modules that make up the exam).

  In the tests of the Notions of Technical Design module, consultation elements or the use of digital devices are not allowed; the tests of the Computer Assisted Design module are performed with the aid of a computer and, likewise, consultation elements are not allowed.
