Teaching method
The working method to be adopted for the implementation of the syllabus, will be the subject of oral explanation, supported with the projection of images and representation in connection with construction of examples. This method will lead to the achievement by the student of several practical exercises to apply the knowledge imparted, regarding both Technical Drawing as Computer Aided Design.
Evaluation method
This course adopts the continuous evaluation method.
Frequency is obtained with the presence and participation at a minimum of 3/4 of the practical classes.
The course is assessed by a set of practical assignments (TP1 - 35%+TP2 - 40%) and a theorical-practical test (TTP - 25%).
The assignments and test will be executed exclusively during the classes.
All the evaluation moments will be of individual execution.
Students who aren’t approved in the theorical-practical test have access to a written exam.
Subject matter
The importance of Technical Drawing (DT) in Civil Engineering.
Types of drawing, notions of representation through drawing, its importance and fields of application.
Graphic representation in DT: national standards, ISO standards and technical standards.
Orthogonal projections, design, representation and reading.
Perspectives – Isometric and Cavalier.
The use of DT for project development and its relationship with Computer Aided Design (CAD).
CAD Concepts, Models and Methodology.
Introduction to CAD Systems - Notions, representation concepts and fundamental techniques of CAD systems, with emphasis on their application to Civil Engineering projects.
