Teaching Methodologies
The knowledge acquisition is promoted in the lectures with the theoretical exposition and applied in solving practical exercises in the
laboratory lessons. In these lessons, practical examples are presented and students are invited to participate in the discussion and to
search together for a solution that arises from the interchanging of ideas.
Students are also stimulated to develop self-knowledge acquisition habits in order to the prior preparation of solving practical problems.
These teaching methodologies proportionate the correct understanding of the subjects of this curricular unit and consequently to reach the
learning outcomes, also through the means that allow the development of the wished set of generic and specific skills.
Learning Results
Objectives: Provide fundamental concepts that allow students to reading, understanding, interpretation and implementation of technical
drawings, in orthogonal projections and axonometric perspectives. It is also intended that the students learn the main international
standards of technical drawing, as well as the latest tools of computer aided design.
Generics skills: Practicing the interchanging of ideas and the discussion of problems and solutions; Developing self- knowledge acquisition
habits.
Specific skills: Learn elaborate sketches and technical drawings, either using traditional means or by making use the most tools of computer
aided design
