BSc IN MECANICAL ENGINEERING
SUBJECT: GRAPHICAL EXPRESSION AND COMPUTER ASSISTED DESIGN
TEACHING STAFF: ALBA CABISCOL TEIXIDÓ
COURSE: 1st CREDITS: 12 TYPE: yearly
1. OBJECTIVES
The main objective of this subject is to know and to understand the graphic language.
The knowledge of this language will allow the student to develop the spatial conception, to be acquainted with the resources and the necessary techniques to represent usual objects on the engineering field, as well as a tool to be able to exchange graphic information with other technicians.
2. STRUCTURE
The subject has a total of 12 credits, which 6 are theory credits and 6 are practical work. 2 credits of the 6 practical part are done at the laboratory and they are aimed to the learning and the application of a CAD program.

6. ASSESSMENT
This subject has a continued assessment method. It is for this reason that the final mark is obtained having into account the next information.
Partial Tests: There are two partial tests, Pi, during the course. One test in the middle of each semester, which will include all the material done during the first half of each semester.
Final Exam of the semester (FSi): which includes all the material done during the semester.
The mark for each semester i, will be calculated as follows:
N_Si = max ( 30%Pi + 70% FSi, FSi)
At the end of the course there is the possibility to retake the first semester part through a test, this mark is NR_S1. If you take this test, then the mark for the first semester will be NR_S1, although it could be lower than N_S1.
The final mark for the theory and the problems part will be calculated as follows:
N_TP = 50% NN_S1 + 50% N_S2
NN_S1 is:
• N_S1 if NR_S1 has not been done
• NR_S1 if NR_S1 has not been done
Practical Work Mark NPrac: It is obtained from the exercises collection, exercises which will be evaluated by the teacher and from the acquired CAD knowledge during the course.
In June, the final mark NF of the subject is obtained as follows:
NF = 75% NTP + 25% NPrac
September Exam:
In September, there is another final exam which will include all the material we have done during the course. The mark obtained on the final exam will be the final mark of the subject.
