The thesis provides evidence to interpret the position of the subject area of Engineering Graphics (EG) in the last 15 years, in the context of Spaniard university teaching in general, and teaching in industrial engineering in particular. There has been noted the virtual disappearance of the systems of representation on paper, displaced by digital tools 3D parametric geometry modeling. Moreover, as a result of the teaching-learning model promoted by the consolidation of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA), the traditional training scheme based on first and second cycle has been modified, unifying the new grades with homogeneous contents and objectives to enable mobility, and specialized new master. The paper is divided into 4 parts. The first outlines the background necessary to understand the context of the thesis. We study the convergence of media, the parameters in the evolution of Spaniard universities, the status of engineering teaching in Spain, a brief historical overview of the teaching of GI in Spain, a comparison of the area with Europe and USA, conceptual understanding and semantics of the EG, the evolution of computing in the area of ICT and the concept of learning. The second part presents the theoretical discussion that has taken place for 15 years in relation to educational innovation in technical education, university teaching and learning techniques for EG. We present the contributions of 300 authors in CUIEET conferences, and INGEGRAF CIDUI. The third section presents a theoretical synthesis of the teaching-learning processes, defining the concepts of learning, highlighting the different models, teaching, blended learning, computerization of the teaching, continuous assessment and curriculum. It explores the theoretical contents of geometry, industrial and multimedia standards. We analyze the imprint of the computer processes, computer animation and computer-assisted instruction (CAI). Studies on generic skills in engineering, in particular generic skills for EG. In the fourth case is examined as the curriculum of schools with significant presence of EGE UPC department, from the plans based on traditional tools to the settlers in the EHEA, through the first plans to use 2D CAD tools and subsequently supported plans parametric 3D CAD. The thesis comes to the conclusion that: The use of computers in the teaching of GI involves new ways of teaching the subject classical geometry of space, but also the disappearance of certain content that was strongly related to methodologies based on paper. The Computer Aided Design (CAD) creates new opportunities for the development of the GI area where the new content available beyond the purely classical geometry is an opportunity for the area to compensate for reduced course load occurred in the latest plans study. That ICTs enable new paradigm of teaching and learning driven by the full implementation of the EHEA. Based on the theoretical discussion, analysis and synthesis carried out in the research, the study of schools in the UPC, and taking into account the conclusions reached, the thesis proposes a teaching methodology for improving didactic learning techniques of GI, based on the premises of a type of degree course with a load of 6 ECTS. For the presented proposal, computerized classrooms are needed at a rate of one computer per student in groups of maximum 30 students.
