1. General information
The initial objective is to learn the most common and used techniques and ways of expression. But in addition to knowing to express oneself through drawing, it is essential and equally important to learn to observe what we are going to have to represent and then capture on paper. Before drawing or projecting something we have to understand those elements that we will have to draw afterwards.
These approaches and objectives are aligned with the following Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations Agenda 2030(https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/es/), so that the acquisition of the learning results of the subject provides training and competence to contribute to some extent to their achievement.
SDG 4. Ensure inclusive, equitable and quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all
SDG 5. Achieving gender equality and empowering all women and girls
2. Learning results
Apply the systems of representation: dihedral system
Develop sketches, proportionality, language, and graphic representation techniques of the elements and construction processes.
Demonstrate initial knowledge of 2D CAD
Interpret and prepare the graphic documentation required for a basic civil engineering project.
Perform data collection, survey of plans and geometric control of work units.
