Engineering graphics’ knowledge: its persistence and application evaluation

Abstract

The article deals with the knowledge of engineering graphics, obtained during studies and its application in architectural and constructional design. Data analysis was carried out and the relationship between the exams’ grades in lower and upper semesters was determined. The evaluations of the following subjects have been examined:: General Engineering Graphics, Applied Engineering Graphics, Building Architecture and Structures 1, Building Architecture and Structures 2. The present paper describes the development of an approach that uses a real data set. The investigated data illustrates relevant concepts and methods in the application of introductory civil engineering. The creative use of students' scores evaluation data is recommended to facilitate the learning of civil engineering. The course has enrolments of approximately 250 students.
