A final practical test on the computer, lasting 2 hours, on:

 1. Word document: formatting of a text in Word;

 2. Excel processing: creation of a table and its graph in Excel;

 3. CAD drawing: drafting of a drawing (plan, elevation or section) on CAD.

 During the course there are checks, two ongoing tests, to ascertain the level of learning.

 The verification of learning can also be carried out electronically, should the conditions require it.

 Evaluation criteria of the practical test on the computer:

 Each WORD, EXCEL AND CAD work will be developed with a series of questions whose correct completion will give a positive score to the candidate. No negative score will be awarded for incorrect and non-given questions.

 The exam will be passed if the threshold of 18/30 is exceeded in all three projects.

Word formatting of assigned text with page and column setup, formatting styles, inserting images and captions, creating cross-references and automatic table of contents.

Drafting of a technical drawing (prospectus, plan or section) in Autocad, respecting the assigned measurements and with the use of layers, blocks and hatches, captions and dimensions.
