AIMS AND CONTENT

LEARNING OUTCOMES

The teaching introduces the construction elements and proportions of the main types of boats through graphic restitution according to the main conventions of use. It also proposes the optimization of the forms according to the type of use, the possible technologies, the costs of the product and its industrialization

EXAMS
