Education / Pedagogy / Architecture degree plan
Spanish term or phrase: - Registrar conceptualmente soportes físicos y lógicos sobre computación gráfica
From a class named: ' VIRTUAL MODELLING AND PARAMETRIC CAD' in an architectural degree, this is one of the things that students are expected to learn / perform.

I can see that 'soportes físicos y lógicos' can refer to computer hardware and software, but I'm not totally sure if it does in this. Also not clear if register literally means register (as in software registration) or something like 'create' / 'record'.

Earlier in the same class description there is a similar sentence, identical except without the 'conceptualmente', so:

'Registrar soportes físicos y lógicos sobre computación gráfica'

Explanation:
With an 'active' verb, i.e., demonstrate, commonly used for (student) learning objectives, while following the asker regarding the use of 'headware and software.'

Erratum: that's 'hardware' of course :-)

Gran Diccionario de la Lengua Española (Larousse 2016):

10. [COMERCIO] Mostrar o declarar mercancías o bienes para que sean anotados" - http://es.thefreedictionary.com/registrar

As David suggests, it appears to mean 'show.'

I hope this helps!

"registrar" just means "show"

so I just said "Have" but it's the same thing

you might go with "basic" for "conceptual" but a bit risky

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks, that makes sense in terms of 'registrar', although I still don't see a difference between 'registrar soportes...' and 'registrar conceptualmente soportes...' i.e. why would they need to specify both? Also, what is meant by physical and logistical support systems, is that a term within architecture or CAD?

agree  Robert Forstag: Seems like an unusual use of "registrar" (maybe contaminated by English) but this is my understanding of the phrase as well.
