The use of schematic diagrams is very common in many subjects of engineering education because it unequivocally permits establishing the dependency relationships among the different elements of the circuit. This article presents an interactive software that helps students to study and design them by means of CAD tools and a self‐correction module. Results obtained with its evaluation within university studies can positively assess the integration of the application into teaching methodologies related to the design and drawing of schematic diagrams. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
