Los estudiantes de ingenieria tienen que tener una buena capacidad de vision espacial para enfrentarse a las tareas cotidianas de su titulacion. En este sentido, teniendo en cuenta que esta capacidad se puede mejorar mediante un entrenamiento adecuado, en este articulo se plantea una innovadora metodologia basada en la existencia de vinculos interdisciplinares entre el dibujo tecnico y otras materias de caracter mas practico que, ademas, ayuda a reforzar la vision espacial de los estudiantes mediante unos ejercicios totalmente originales. Concretamente, este articulo trata el vinculo existente entre la asignatura Dibujo Tecnico y la radiologia industrial, obteniendo las vistas de una pieza (planta, alzado y perfil) como si fueran radiografias. Para ello, es necesario aplicar los conceptos propios de la radiologia industrial, que definen de manera cuantitativa la coloracion de las distintas zonas de una radiografia, en funcion del tipo de material y del espesor que tiene la pieza representada. La metodologia activa que se plantea en este articulo ayuda: (i) a mejorar las habilidades espaciales del alumnado y (ii) a hacer mas entretenido el estudio del dibujo tecnico al acercar al estudiante al mundo profesional del ingeniero. ABSTRACT An innovative methodology to practice the three dimensional viewing capacity of engineering students. Engineering students must have a good capacity of spatial visualization to face up the tasks of their studies. In this sense, taking into account that it is possible to improve this capacity by means of an adequate training, an innovative methodology is proposed in this paper, which is based on stablishing interdisciplinary links between technical drawing and other more practical issues and, which also helps students to reinforce their spatial abilities through original exercises. Specifically, this paper deals with the link between the Technical Drawing subject and the industrial radiology, obtaining the views of a part (plan, elevation and profile) as radiographs. It is necessary to apply the fundamental concepts of radiology, which define the color of the different radiograph zones in a quantitative way, according to both the type of material and the thickness of the represented part. The active methodology proposed in this paper helps: (i) to improve the spatial abilities of students and (ii) to make the study of technical drawing more enjoyable, bringing students closer to the professional life of an engineer.
