Course Aim:

To develop visualization skills of three dimensional objects by enabling the students to comprehend and produce engineering drawings, engineering graphics and freehand sketches.

Intended Learning Outcomes:

On successful completion of the course, the students should be able to

➢    interpret and produce a simple engineering drawing in both First and Third angle orthographic projections and translate it to a three-dimensional virtual image to produce freehand sketches of the object

➢    solve problems on Engineering Graphics

➢    produce an engineering drawing using computer aided drafting.

Course Content:(Only main topics & subtopics)

 ➢    Introduction to Engineering Drawing

➢    Freehand sketching of isometric views:

Sketching of objects by direct observation and by interpreting the object from an orthographic projection. Ability to form a virtual image and produce a sketch from a given viewing direction.

➢    Geometrical Constructions

➢    Orthographic projection - First Angle and Third Angle projection. Standards in Engineering Drawing Computer Aided Drafting

➢    Engineering Graphics:

Isometric projections, Conic Sections, Intersection of Surfaces and Developments, Computer Aided Drafting
