Students will acquire basic knowledge in industrial design and drafting, with particular reference to the mechanical application field.
The course aims at providing the students with the acquisition of basic skills for drawing all the main machine components and understanding drawings already made by others. After a brief introduction to the geometrical bases, it treats, according to the international standards, the rules and norms for the right representation of each component, by accounting for the function it plays into the device or assembly and for the cycle it experiences during its manufacturing.
Students follow a practical training performing hand sketches.

- Lecture sessions in classroom (please, see the program on the University website); - The Professor will conduct the entire program, including exercises and examples.Attendance
Attendance is optional but strongly recommended.Type of evaluation
The exam consists of a written test and an oral exam. - The written test: an orthographic representation of an "object" in a technical sheet according to the international normative and standards for mechanical drawings. - The oral exam: questions about the topics of the mechanical drawing.
