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

The evaluation of students during the semester will be done through one test (T) and one practical work (TP), and through exercises performed in class.

  • The admission to the exam (frequency) is obtained by the classification of at least 9.5 in the practical work, as well as having performed at least 75% of OT''''''''''''''''s
  • The admission to examination (frequency) is valid for one year.
  • A minimum grade of 8.5 is required for the theoretical  evaluation issues and it will be calculated by the the classification obtained in the test.
  • The approval during the semester will depend on an evaluation, NF, be equal or higher than 10, which will be calculated by the following formula:
                               NF=0,50xT + 0,4xTP + 0,1xOT
 
During época de recurso, the exam shall replace the test grade in the above equation, if the grade is higher than the test grade.
