Adapting Graphic Expression Teaching During the Pandemic: A Turning Point

The difficult years experienced since 2020 with the arrival of SARS-COV-2 forced the education system to suddenly adapt to a completely different teaching system so that students could understand and assimilate, without the on-site assistance of the teacher, all of the concepts necessary to pass a subject. Thus, the teaching bodies of almost every center of every education level have tried to be more efficient in the dissemination of knowledge. Through a survey carried out among students that have been enrolled in Graphic Expression subjects, it has been determined that the results obtained using 2D and 3D CAD tools and parametric design, in the explanations and the development of exercises of Graphic Expression in Engineering I, from the bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering and the subject CAD - Normalized Graphic Expression, from the bachelor’s degree in Robotics, both from the University of Santiago de Compostela, have significantly improved. The improvement is so noticeable, both in the development of spatial vision, in the academic results obtained during the academic year and in the perception that the students have about learning that the intention is to continue working in this regard.
