The teaching methodology is based on a strong interaction teacher / student. This interaction is materialized by a division of labor / responsibilities between students and teachers.
Classroom activities:
Theoretical classes: theoretical concepts of the subject will be explained and practical examples will be developed.
Tutored practical classes of problems: Students will develop examples and conduct problems or case studies concerning the theoretical concepts studied.
tutored autonomous activities: These activities will be tutored by teachers of the subject. The student will be able to perform these activities in the center, under the supervision of a professor of the branch / department.
Reinforcement activities: Through a virtual education portal (Moodle) various activities that reinforce the basic contents of the subject be addressed. These activities will be personalized and controlled its realization through it

2. Introduction to CAD.
 
In this second part of the course most current techniques and ways to proceed in the Graphic Expression applied to Building concepts apply. The most common way today to produce all documents, plans and drawings, is through computer tools. To do this, proceed to use DAO programs, Computer Aided Design, or more commonly known as CAD, which stands for English Computes asisted Design.
The development of this part is also interleave with corresponding to the previous one, being fully compatible.
