Objectives
This course aims to give students the basic knowledge to design domestic electrical installations. Students will develop their work based on current legislation in the areas of electrical installations, supported by AutoCAD software. Lightning project will be addressed with the support of dedicated sotware.
It is also our aim that students acquire knowledge about drawing orthogonal projections of an object, as well as the three-dimensional object reconstruction from orthogonal projections, based on rules of technical drawing, supported by AutoCAD software.
Prerequisites
None.
