There are no official requirements for this course but basic knowledge of technical drawing and descriptive geometry is recommended.
The objective of the Graphic Expression subject is to prepare students so they can compose and interpret the necessary graphic documents to carry out their professional activity.
The description of mechanical parts, laboratory facilities schemes and industrial plants, etc.
For this purpose, the intention is to give you the knowledge about the systems and techniques of representation most appropriate to each case.
Special attention will be given to the application of computer-assisted representation techniques, with a parallel development of spatial interpretation capabilities.

Construction of 3D volumes from multiple views. Development of spatial vision. Presentation in perspective form.
Students are trained through mostly practical exercises to be able to find the solution to specific problems that the comprehension and the representation of graphic elements may present.
The training is reinforced with master classes to guide and keep the students on the right path with continuous monitoring carried out by the teachers in both their workshop and their autonomous work.
Outside the academic hours, the communication between the students and the teaching staff will be through the UAB Virtual Campus.
All communications from the teaching body to a student or group of students, whether they are of general interest to all students or a single one, will be made through the virtual Campus or the corporate email of the UAB.
The methodology is foreseen 100% face-to-face both for the master classes and for the practices that will be organized by groups.

In order to pass the course, students must be able to demonstrate that they have acquired enough skills to efficiently use the computer program required (AutoCAD), as well as having acquired sufficient skills to interpret and perform basic plans and diagrams in both dihedral representation and three-dimensional volumes and be able to make the presentations in an appropriate way according to the required specifications,
The practices carried out in the workshop and those done by the students at home will be valued so that the continued work and the punctual follow-up of the classes, workshops and practices will be rewarded.
Process and Scheduled evaluation activities
The subject consists of the following evaluation activities:
Activity 1: Practices of Topic 1. 20% on the final grade
Activity 2: Individual test of Topic 1. 20% of the final grade
Activity 3: Practices of Topic 2. 15% on the final grade
Activity 4: Individual test of Topic 2. 15% on the final grade
Activity 5: Practices of Topic 3. 15% on the final grade
Activity 6: Individual test of Topic 3. 15% of the final grade
Once the average of the practices of the course and the individual tests are made, a minimum qualification of 5 out of 10 is required to pass.
The minimum grade for each of these topics must reach 3.5 in order to count towards the average of the 3 topics.
If a partial grade is below 3.5, this will be the awarded score for the total of that subject.
A grade lower than 3.5 in one of the three topics of the course implies that it will not be able to count towards the average and therefore this will be the final grade applied to the course.
To be able to pass the course in the continuous evaluation it will be necessary to obtain a minimum grade of 5 in the average of the three topics and to have passed at least two of the three. If the average of the three topics is passed but two of the topics were failed, the final grade of the course will be the highest of
the failed topics.
The calendar of the evaluation activities will be given on the first day of the subject and will be made public through the Virtual Campus and in the exams section on the Engineering School website. Expected calendar:
Activity 1: Weeks 1 to 7 of the subject
Activity 2: Week 8 of the subject
Activity 3: Weeks 8 to 10 of the subject
Activity 4: Week 11 of the subject
Activity 5: Weeks 11 to 14 of the subject
Activity 6: Week 15 of the subject
The proposed teaching methodology and assessment may undergo some modification depending on the attendance restrictions imposed by the health authorities
Recovery process
If a student does not pass the subject with the continuous assessment by the described system above, he/she will have an option for a global recovery exam in which he/she will have to take a test on the three topics of the course regardless of the partial grades they had on each topic before - since these, under no circumstances, will be taken into account.
In this case, obtaining a minimum grade of 5 out of 10 in the global recovery test, the student would pass.
The student can apply for the recovery test only if he/she accomplished a set of activities that represent at least two thirds of the total grade of the subject.
Review of qualifications Procedure
A place, date and time of revision will be set for each evaluation activity in which the students will be able to review the activity along with the teacher. In this context, claims may be made on the activity grade. Those claims will be evaluated by the teacher responsible for that subject. If the student does not show up for this revision, his/her activity will not be reviewed later.
Qualifications
With Honours: Granting an honours degree is the decision of the faculty responsible forthe subject. The regulations of the UAB indicate that Hons can only be granted to students who have obtained a final grade equal to or greater than 9.00. The number of students granted “with honours” cannot exceed 5% of the total number of students enrolled.
The non-delivery of at least 90% of the practices will imply the qualification of "Not evaluated".
The non-attendance to any of the individual tests will imply the qualification of "Not evaluated".
The given grade to not delivered practices will be 0.
Irregularities by the student, copy and plagiarism
Without prejudice to other disciplinary measures deemed appropriate and in accordance with the current academic regulations, any irregularities committed by the student that may lead to a variation of the rating of an evaluation act, copying or allowing to copy a practice or any other evaluation activity, will mean failing with a zero grade. In the event that this grade was necessary to pass, the whole subject will be failed. The evaluation activities qualified this way and by this procedure will not be recoverable and therefore the subject will be failed directly with no opportunity to recover it in the same academic year.
Evaluation of repeating students
The system of evaluation of the subject for students from the second enrollment will be the same as for the rest of the students, except they will be required to present a set of activities that represent a minimum of two thirds of the total grade of the student. subject to be able toaccess the recovery test.
Therefore, students from the second registration can make the recovery test even if they have not done any of the activities provided in the continuous evaluation.
