Computer Aided Design

None.

In the lectures a theoretical exposition of each subject is made which is complemented by the presentation of application exercises.
In the laboratorial component practical problems are solved on the computer.
Evaluation: There is a system of continuous evaluation that consists of two tests. There is the obligation to obtain a minimum score of 7,5 points on each test. The final mark is the average of 2 tests.
If approval is not obtained in the tests, can perform the final exams.

Objectives: Provide fundamental concepts that allow students to reading, understanding, interpretation and implementation of technical drawings and diagrams, in orthogonal projections and axonometric perspectives. It is also intended that, the students learn the main international standards of tecnical drawing, as well as the latest tools of computer aided design.
Generics skills: Practising 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 of latest tools of computer aided design.

1. Basics : Technical drawing standards, types of lines, Drawing Sheets, title blocks, borders, part lists; Scales.
2. Orthogonal projections : European and American Method ; Selection of views ; Partial, private, local and auxiliary Views; Freehand drawing.
3. Cuts and sections: Conventional Interpretation; Cut Plans; Views and partial cuts; Elements that do not draw cut; Sections.
