The course deals with the principles of engineering. It includes the following topics:
1. Technical drawings using computer aided methods for the design of sustainable products.
2. DIN and other engineering standards, design, and tolerance.
3. Forces and moments in the plane.
4. Free body and balance of forces and moments.
5. Loads, support reactions and internal forces.
6. Normal and shear stresses, stress-strain ratio and Hook´s Law, strength, and material properties

Teaching methodologies and assessment
Teaching methodologies and assessment
The course comprises theoretical sessions based on PowerPoint presentations and other audiovisual methods, where the main principles of engineering are presented, complemented by concrete examples/problems. The CU also has a theoretical-practical component with the resolution of exercises and case studies where students apply and develop some of the theoretical concepts
