Prerequisites
Previous kowledge of geometric solid projections, cuts and sections and axonometric perspectives.
Objectives
Provide students not only with solid knowledge, but also with a set of skills and attitudes that make them capable of practising their profession.
In particular, the aim is to equip students with the knowledge to design mechanical parts and assemblies using advanced computer-aided design (CAD) applications.
Complexes of dimensioning: dimensional tolerances, geometric tolerances, adjustments and surface finishes.
Design of machine elements.
Program
1. Dimensional tolerances and surface finish
-Introduction
-ISO Dimensional tolerance standards
-Drawing tolerances
-Fittings
-Recommended fittings
-Control of dimensional fittings
-Surface finishing quality
2. Geometric tolerances
-Geometrical vs Dimensional Tolerances
-Geometrical tolerance symbology
-Using geometrical tolerances in practice
3. Technical drawing of welded joints.
-Welding processes
-Welding symbology
-Using welding symbols in practice
4. Machine components.
-Connection elements
-Mechanical springs
-Bearings
-Machine components
5. Advanced application in CAD
-Solid modelling
-Mechanical components data bases
Evaluation Methodology
Continuous Assessment (Frequency) and Final Assessment (Exam and Appeal) - Students will be assessed in the Curricular Unit taking into account the following components and weighting: 1. Theoretical-practical exercises carried out throughout the semester, with a weight of 50% (ES ); 2. Final exercise of a practical model, with a weight of 50% (EF).
The final classification (CF), in continuous assessment (frequency) or final assessment (examl) is obtained through CF=ES+EF, there is no minimum grade for each of the assessment components.

Teaching Method
After the exposure moments of the theoretical concepts, several practical exercises in CAD will be solved. The Inventor® software will be used as a tool to apply the theoretical concepts and to solve practical exercises.
