Contact time: 22 hours (11 hours theory and 11 hours practice). Student workload (non-presential): 40 hours.
IMPORTANT: This block will be taught using CAD platforms. Nevertheless, it is advisable for the student to bring a pencil and paper to practical classes in case they need to perform freehand drawing at any time.
3.2.- SCALED PLANES SYSTEM (SISTEMA DE PLANOS ACOTADOS)
3.2.1. Fundamentals (1h)
3.2.2. Representation of basic geometric elements: point, line, and plane. (3h)

3.2.4. Representation of natural terrain. Interpretation of cartography (1h)
3.2.5. Generation of situation and location plans (1h)
3.2.6. Graphic modeling of the terrain. Earthworks (Explanaciones) (6h)
Practices: Exercises for each developed theory topic.
Contact time: 16 hours (8 hours theory and 8 hours practice). Student workload (non-presential): 35 hours.
BLOCK IV - NORMALIZATION OF REPRESENTATION
4.1. Scales
4.2. Standardization of technical drawing
4.3. Standardization of three-dimensional representation
4.4. Standardization of dimensioning
Practices: Self-evaluation test. Contact time: 0 hours. Student workload (non-presential): 4 hours (Virtual Campus).
NOTE: This block, as well as the self-evaluation test, will be available from the beginning of the course on the Virtual Campus.

DIGITAL RESOURCES
CAD Intentions (Brandon Loehr) on YouTube: Excellent tutorials from basic to advanced levels.
Mediatrizeo on Instagram and YouTube: Short educational videos on freehand technical drawing and Descriptive Geometry.
Arqmanes on YouTube: Videos with practices and AutoCAD tricks.
Competencies Students will acquire or practice generic competencies (desirable in any university degree) and specific competencies (typical of Engineering in general or Civil Engineering in particular).
Basic, General, and Transversal Competencies:
CG1: Scientific-technical training for the profession of Public Works Technical Engineer...
CT1: Capacity for analysis and synthesis.
CT2: Capacity for reasoning and argumentation.
CT3: Capacity for individual work with a self-critical attitude.
CT12: Capacity to solve problems through the integrated application of knowledge.
Specific Competencies:
CEFB2: Capacity for spatial vision and knowledge of graphic representation techniques...
This is specified in the acquisition of capacities to:
Interpret technical graphic documentation and draft basic documentation.
Know the fundamentals of representation systems.
Draw freehand sketches and perspectives.
Handle computer drawing applications.
Apply spatial reasoning.
Practices in the Computer Lab: Aims to understand Blocks II and III and acquire competence in CAD applications. Theoretical contents are addressed practically in laboratory sessions. Exercises are linked to all thematic blocks.
Utilization of the Virtual Campus: Updated in parallel with the presential program, providing materials and links.
Individualized and Collective Tutoring: Planned for small groups to resolve doubts. Individual tutoring can be requested (presential or telematic).
In both the first and second opportunities, the evaluation consists of 30% coursework (Component T) and 70% final exam (Component F).
Coursework (T): Consists of autonomous activities or exercises proposed during practical sessions to be completed and sent within the same session. If not sent during the session or if absent without justification, the grade is 0. It also includes interactive activities on the Virtual Campus and autonomous assignments.
Final Exam (F): Elaborated from three tests:
F1: Practical exam on DIHEDRAL (50% of F). Misuse of layers, line types, or AutoCAD commands can penalize.
F2: Practical exam on SCALED PLANES (40% of F). Similar penalties apply.
F3: Test on Normalization on the Virtual Campus (10% of F). PAGE 3
Subject Not Passed if:
Any exam test (F1, F2, F3) scores below 3 points.
The final exam grade calculated as F = (0,5 \times F1 + 0,4 \times F2 + 0,1 \times F3) is less than 4.5 points.
In these cases, component T will not be considered.
Second Opportunity
Coursework grade (T) and passed parts are preserved. Blocks with a grade below 3 must be repeated (5 is required to pass them). If the grade was between 3 and 5, the student decides whether to retake it; the highest grade prevails.
Academic Fraud Fraudulent performance in any exercise or test implies a failing grade (Suspenso) in the corresponding call, independent of disciplinary processes.
Attendance Not mandatory but highly advisable. Continuous evaluation relies on practical session activities. Justified absences must be accredited within five business days to allow for compensation.
Repeaters Requires a minimum grade of 5.0 in the final exam. To average the contents, at least 4.0 points are required in each evaluable block. Continuous evaluation grades from previous years will be preserved.
Attendance Waiver (Dispensa) Students with a granted waiver will have alternative learning materials (virtual tutoring, support videos). The same grading system applies; assignments must be delivered within set deadlines.
150 total hours: 51 presential and 99 autonomous work.
Participate actively in all classes.
Equip yourself with a computer for autonomous work.
Attend tutoring for personalized support.
Explore Virtual Campus materials and recommended bibliography.
Attendance at conferences and related events is recommended.
The subject will be taught in Spanish.
For practices, students can use their own laptops or lab equipment.
Exams MUST be taken exclusively on the center’s computers.
Absolute prohibition of mobile phones during classes and exams.
Unauthorized use of browsers or software may result in expulsion.
Punctuality is fundamental; no entry is permitted once an exam has begun.
