Students are expected to have completed Technical Drawing in the high school .

Upon successful completion of this subject, students will be able to read, understand and develop engineering graphics, plans, drawings, drafts and sketches. To be able to use the systems for representation: their geometric foundations, symbols and standards To be able to draw and to define graphically ideas, designs and projects in a precise, clear , unique and standardized manner. To know the geometric and functional basis for 3D computer aided design (CAD). To use at least one 3D CAD program

Video generation T - PROJECT PRESENTATIONS: The final project will be presented by students.

There will be theoretical lessons and practical lesson in computer room. The objective is clearly practical and the students will demonstrate their skills by drawing. In addition to the exercises proposed during the classes, every student must elaborate a final design group project.
