Resumen
La visión espacial y el bocetado a mano alzada son competencias fundamentales de todo ingeniero o arquitecto, tanto durante su formación como en el desempeño de su profesión. Sin embargo los sucesivos planes de estudio, en particular los derivados del Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior, han supuesto una importante merma en las habilidades espaciales de los estudiantes de las titulaciones técnicas. Este artículo describe la metodología implantada durante el curso académico 2012/2013 en varios grados técnicos de la Universidad de Granada, diseñada para mejorar las habilidades espaciales y de bocetado de sus estudiantes mediante una serie de actividades complementarias en las asignaturas de Expresión Gráfica. Los test estandarizados administrados a los estudiantes al principio y al final del período lectivo han puesto de manifiesto una importante mejora en aquéllos que han participado en estas actividades.
