Objectives

To transmit to the students the capacity to handle geometric and non-geometric information in the production area.
To implement computer programs that allow the processing of the information retrieved from commercial CAD/CAM software systems.

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 Article 10 of General Evaluation Rules of FEUP.

Classification improvement

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.
