• Resumen

  • The appearance of CAD applications with parametric capabilities has not changed some obsolete academic habits based on drawing as if a ruler and compass were still the tools used for this purpose. In this work, it is argued that this is not reasonable in terms of training strategies or in terms of efficiency. To support this statement, a new method of evaluation that measures and compares the efficiency of different geometrical construction approaches is presented. The use of this metric as a teaching strategy is illustrated through an experimental study applied in the classroom.
