General Objective: By the end of the course, students must be able to apply graphic representation systems to solve design problems and correctly create and interpret technical plans.
Specific Objectives:
Utilize graphic representation techniques (orthogonal projections, perspectives, and axonometries) to communicate design ideas.
Solve practical problems through graphic calculation.
Interpret mechanical or engineering plans, identifying key elements and understanding their meaning.
Apply concepts of descriptive geometry and technical drawing to represent three-dimensional objects.
Course Contents
The degree program memory includes the following contents:
Standardization of Technical Graphic documentation.
Fundamentals of 3D representation using projection systems used in descriptive geometry with the help of CAD programs.
Graphic calculation with CAD.
Parametric 3D modeling of mechanical elements.
Basic simulation of parameterized mechanical systems based on shape parameter variation.

The student will acquire the following:
Knowledge: CAD software for circuits and mechanisms , graphic resolution of design geometry , and machine element representation.
Skills: Ability to interpret and create documentation for robotized mechanical systems , spatial vision for mechanical and electronic plans , and 3D parametric modeling.
Transversal: Analysis and synthesis , reasoning , individual work , teamwork , information retrieval , truthfulness , ICT usage , and integrated problem solving.
Activities include:
Computer Lab Practices: Focused on learning concepts from Blocks III and IV and software proficiency. Students work with provided exercises and use the Virtual Campus for submissions.
Employment of the Virtual Campus: Maintains updated themes, material downloads, and task deliveries.
Autonomous Problem Solving: Assignments to be completed independently within teacher-specified deadlines.
Evaluation consists of Component T (30%) and Component F (70%) for both first and second opportunities.
Component T (Coursework): Includes evaluation of autonomous exercises performed in sessions (or submitted in class) and interactive activities on the Virtual Campus.
Component F (Final Exam): Comprised of three parts:
F1 (10% of F): Multiple-choice test on Block I (Standardization) via Virtual Campus.
F2 (50% of F): Practical exam on Block III (Dihedric System).
F3 (40% of F): Practical exam on Block IV (3D Parametric CAD). Subject Failure Conditions:
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.
