	| Learning outcomes | To enable students to implement the knowledge of the Technical Drawing through a Computer Aided Design (CAD) computer application. After attending this course, students should:
 - Have grasped the fundamental concepts of Technical Design;
 - To be able to read and interpret a technical drawing correctly;
 - To be prepared to carry out the drawings and drawings necessary for the design of new products and equipment.
