Technical Drawing

Objectives

  1. To apply the rules of Technical Drawing in order to achieve the graphical representation of mechanical components.
  2. To read and execute orthogonal projections.
  3. To understand the rules of Technical Drawing in order to draw axonometric projections (perspectives).
  4. To understand the rules of Technical Drawing in order to draw assemblages of components.
  5. To be capable to model and to assemble non-complex tridimensional parts using a Computer-Aided Design software. 
  6. To know how to 3D print the parts modelled.

Teaching method

The UC will be taught in a practical theoretical model, in which the concepts presented are immediately put into practice.

The course will have a fundamental emphasis on freehand drawing as well as the use of 3D CAD software.

Evaluation method

•1 Test  50%
•1 Project  40%
•OT’s (Exercises performed in class)  10%
•To obtain frequency (mandatory condition to pass the class) students deliver a minimum of 3 out of the 5 OT. The grade of the OT’s is the average of the 3 best delivered.

•Minimum test score of 8.5 points
•Minimum grade Project of 10 points
•Minimum final grade of 10 points

  • Approval in the UC during the continuous assessment period presupposes obtaining a final grade, NF, greater than or equal to 10 points, being obtained through the following formula:


                    NF=0.5xT + 0.4xTP + 0.1xOT

  • In Época de Recurso, the test grade obtained in the appeal will replace the test grade in the formula above. The test grade will have a minimum grade of 9.5 points
