Posted by ESCET Communication Subdirectorate

 

On May 29, professors from the Department of Chemical, Energetic and Mechanical Technology held the "III Conference on Graphic Expression and Computer Aided Design" aimed at students who are studying engineering degrees at the Rey Juan Carlos University. This event was sponsored by the Office of the Vice-Rector for University Extension and the Higher School of Experimental Sciences and Technology of the URJC.

 

 

The objective of the workshops was to publicize the application of the subject of Graphic Expression in the business world. For this, the experience of professionals from different sectors who use Computer Aided Design (CAD) programs in their day to day was relied on. In this way, the students obtained information on the real application of Graphic Expression in the workplace, from the conceptualization of projects to their implementation, in fields as varied as the aeronautical sector, taught by Félix Terroba, INTA PhD researcher , the field of optics, taught by Ignacio Casares, Design and Service engineer at PlenOptika, biomedical applications, taught by Santiago Martín, head of Additive Engineering and Prototypes at INTA, and in the energy sector taught by Raúl Muñoz, Doctor Responsible for Surface Treatments at ITPAero.

During the conference, various professional opportunities were presented within the area of ​​competence of the attendees. It was a voluntary event attended by students of Energy Engineering, Industrial Technology Engineering, Industrial Organization Engineering, Industrial and Automatic Electronic Engineering, Environmental Engineering and Mechanical Engineering from the Higher School of Experimental Sciences and Technology, also Engineering Aerospace in Aerospace Vehicles and Aerospace Engineering in Air Navigation from the Fuenlabrada School of Engineering.

In addition, to give the event a more agile character, a round table was prepared with some professionals who answered questions from the attendees about the need to prepare themselves in the world of computer-aided design before entering the world of work.

Finally, the attending students carried out a practical group activity in which they had to demonstrate their knowledge of computer-aided design for the creation of a 3D mechanical part, using Autocad software. They developed the piece in 40 minutes and then the speakers of the day evaluated the work and rewarded the best groups with a diploma and dissemination material. The surveys received after the event were very positive, where the students indicated the great usefulness of the conference and the intention of recommending it to their peers for future editions.
