Teaching methods
The course consists of 3 credits, CFU, in which they are
also integrated theory lessons, that relate to the basic rules of
the industrial technical drawing to guarantee the student to
have all the necessary tools to realize two-dimensional
drawings, according to Italian and European regulations.
To the theory lessons follow practical exercises to give to
students the basic instructions for using the two-dimensional CAD
software Autocad. Assistance to students is provided in the
preparation of mechanical drawings using the software.
Assessment methods
The examination at the end of the course aims at assessing the
achievement of educational objectives:
• Basic knowledge of mechanical design according
to Italian and European regulations
• Knowledge of the software Autocad and its use
• Use of Autocad for the drafting of mechanical drawings
according to regulations
The exam consists of a graphical test, accompanied by a
verification of the theory. The graphical test is performed by
drawing simple mechanical components with the same CAD program used
for exercises during the course and a question concerning the
theory treated in class has to be answered.
The verbalization of the outcome of the test is bound to the presentation and discussion of the drawings produced during the course of the lessons.
Teaching tools
Lessons will be held in a computer lab, under the direct
guidance of the teacher, whiere PCs are available to the student to
make the CAD drawings, using AUTOCAD software.
Each student is given the opportunity to install the software
on his PC, with academic license authorized.
