Learning Goals
1. Use computer aided design tools in the drafting and pre-dimensioning [CAD/CAE] of mechanical parts, electric circuits, fluid networks and its associations in mechatronic designs.
2. Provide an introduction to computer aided manufacturing [CAM].
Capabilities to be developed:
(a) provide the geometric product specification [GPS] for mechanical parts and notions on how to measure them;
(b) produce the technical drawings of circuits and electric and fluid networks and systems;
(c) be acquainted with the main switch and protection components for electric and fluid networks;
(d) be acquainted with the main associated standards and legislation;
(e) use a software of computer aided manufacturing to generate code for numerically controlled machines;
(f) acquire independence in consulting and using the information in technical manuals, standards, codes and catalogues.

Teaching Methods
Teaching consists of weekly two hour lectures (theoretical classes) where the course contents are exposed and explained, using examples of application. In addition there are two hour recitations (theoretical-practical classes) involving CAD practice in the solution of application problems using the learned concepts. Two hour tutoring per instructor is weekly available outside classes during all the semester.
Assessment
The student's assessment consists in a final exam {E1, E2} (two dates available) and one design project {P} continuously developed throughout the semester. All elements are marked in the range [0, 20]. There is a minimum mark of 9.0 for the exam and project.
If the minimum marks are fulfilled, the final mark is given by:
N = 0.3 × maximum(E1, E2) + 0.7 × P;
otherwise the numerical value for the final mark is the minimum between N and 9.0.
The student is approved if the final mark is equal or greater than 9.5.
