Objectives

1. To be able to understand and to apply the rules for graphical representation of mechanical components.
2. To be able to understand and to apply the rules for orthogonal projections with sectional views and dimensioning, and to draw it using computer aided design software (CAD 2D) and free-hand.
3. To be able to understand and to apply the rules for axonometric projections (perspectives).
4. To be able to understand and to apply the rules for assembly set drawings.
5. To be able to understand and to apply the rules for graphical representation of mechanical elements.

Teaching method

The oral exposition is essentially the teaching method used, associated with sketches, schemes and resumes made by the teacher in the classroom blackboard. The video projector is also used in the classroom.The teacher solves some typical problems to teach the strategy of resolution to the students.

Then some practical problems are distributed and the students have to answer them in the classroom in a period of time.

Evaluation method

• The evaluation of students during the semester will be done through two tests (T1 and T2) and one practical work (TP).
• The admission to the exam (frequency) is obtained by the classification of at least 9.5 in the practical work.
• The admission to examination (frequency) is valid for one year.
• A minimum grade of 8.5 is required for the theoretical and practical evaluation issues and it will be calculated by the mean value of the classifications obtained in the tests.
• The approval during the semester will depend on an evaluation, NF, be equal or higher than 9,5, which will be calculated by the following formula:

• During época de recurso, the final grade, NF, will be equal to the classification obtained by the student in the exam and the approval will depend on a value of NF equal or higher than 9.5.
