摘要

Digital transformation has changed the educational direction of Civil engineering schools worldwide, and particularly in Spain, deciding each one of them their own way to update their educational curriculums to the current situation as best as possible. This has modified the many of the subjects conforming the studies plans, being the ones relative to Graphical Expression included among them. How this matter should be developed to properly train the students regarding Graphical Expression, which is generally considered as basic or core formation in a Civil Engineering Degree, is a complex issue with a non-easy solution since the challenges are huge and there is a wide range of possibilities. In order to check how the different Universities have dealt with this, the present paper tries to include the guidelines concerning Graphic Engineering subjects (usually named as technical drawing) at the main Schools of Civil Engineering in Spain, generally placed in first and/or second year of the studies plan. Therefore, different schools have been analyzed with the aim of knowing what are the main considerations in their academic plans related to drawing subjects. The target is to highlight which points are common, what are the main considerations, if there are some trends applied at most of the schools and if their syllabus are homogeneous or not. The authors hope that this analysis will allow show the situation of the subjects related to the Graphical Expression at Civil Engineering studies in Spain, and to point out how the different schools drive the current changes related with the aforementioned digital transformation.
