Teaching methods and learning activities

Exposition of the different themes in theoretical classes with the analysis of several examples.
During the theoretical classes, several themes will be suggested for practical assignments.

In practical classes, some particularities are presented and some exercises are suggested, to be done on the computer, to apply the concepts presented in the theoretical classes.
The last classes are reserved for a more intense support to the practical assignments.

Software

Force
Autodesk AutoCAD
SolidWorks
Microsoft Visual Studio - Enterprise Edition 6.0

Eligibility for exams

To complete this course the students must attain the required frequency of the practical classes.
The students must undergo all components of evaluation: final examination (written), delivery of the practical assignment, presentation and discussion of the practical assignment.

Calculation formula of final grade

The final classification will be the result of the grades obtained in each of the evaluation components using the following weights:

- Final examination: 60% (written, a minimum grade of 30% is required);
- Practical assignment: 40% (with presentation and discussion).

Examinations or Special Assignments

Not applicable

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

According to the number 7 of the Article 6 of General Evaluation Rules of FEUP, students will be called to do a written examination (on all contents of the discipline), a practical assignment and a possible practical CAD examination.

Classification improvement

According to Article 10 of General Evaluation Rules of FEUP.
