Abstract
In recent years, we have found that Engineering students do not have the adequate preparation to face the subject of Technical Drawing with guarantees. This forces teachers to find new ways to help students to reach the desired level. The basis of Technical Drawing is the dihedral representation system. So, the present work focuses in helping students to enhance their knowledge about dihedral system as well as their spatial perception. Following the idea of promoting the student’s personal work, the designed tool will be an e-learning tool. The proposed application has been programmed with Matlab, and is presented as an executable accessible through the Internet. It allows the student to interact creating, modifying and deleting entities and it provides multiple visualization options.
