Integrated course unit module: DESIGN

Learning objectives

The goal of the course is to render engineering students capable of translating into drawings <br />
<br />
that conform to standards, the three-dimensional geometric models used in construction and <br />
<br />
architecture, as well as be able to understand these models from the reading of technical drawings <br />
<br />
and maps. <br />

Course unit content

<p> The course is comprised of lessons in theory covering: <br />
<br />
topics in Descriptive Geometry to introduce a range of projective methods <br />
<br />
which may be used to prepare drawings: orthogonal projections, parallel or asymmetric <br />
<br />
projections, central or perspective projections, theory of shading and applications <br />
<br />
that combine the various projection methods To provide for continuous and gradual <br />
<br />
learning of representational methods, exercises will be performed at the same time <br />
<br />
involving preparation of drawings which will be updated <br />
<br />
continuously. <br />

Teaching methods

For those students who prepared drawings as part of the Descriptive Geometry course and who <br />
<br />
passed the extemporaneous exam given at the conclusion of the first cycle of lessons, the exam <br />
<br />
will be an oral one based on the content of the lessions given on <br />
<br />
Descriptive Geometry. <br />
<br />
Students who do not perform or do not pass the extemporaneous exam must sit <br />
<br />
a written exam on topics related to Descriptive Geometry in order to be admitted to the final <br />
<br />
oral exam. <br />
