Enseñanza del diseño mecánico mediante un proyecto CAD documentado

Abstract

In mechanical project development, there are two kind of knowledge, theoretical, taught according on syllabus at universities, and in the other hand, practical, usually learned in the working environment. For graduated recently engineers, it means a disadvantage once they are trying to get a job. Seeking to achieve better results on student performance from a real design plane, learning strategy is presented to enhance both knowledges applying them to an educational project completed, learning topics that normally is not covered on syllabus and generating all information required about design and manufacturing project. This paper shows a case of study about a telescopic crane design, analyzing all information generated from conceptual to detail engineering. Finally, preliminary results about all information generated through the different project stages is presented, helping in this way the decision-making process of the students and the information management when developing project from the beginning to the end.
