COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course deals with the practices and techniques of graphical communication application of drafting instruments, lettering scale and units of measure; descriptive geometry, orthographic projections, auxiliary views, dimensioning sectional views, pictorial drawing requirements of engineering working drawings and assembly and exploded detailed drawings.
COURSE JUSTIFICATION/RATIONALE
This unit will enable students to acquire and use engineering drawing skills as a means of accuracy, clearly communicating ideas, information and instructions.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
By the end of this course, the student should be able to:
§ Draw the title block
§ Describe geometric projections and views in drawing
§ Outline different line types.
§ Apply different drawing skills in engineering fields.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
A student on completing this course is expected to:
§ Locate Title Block, revision level, and scale information and explain the importance of each.
§ Distinguish an isometric projection from an orthographic projection and explain the differences of each.
§ Apply principles (rationale and application) of orthographic projection (i.e., most common views used, most important view, orientation of the three views, etc.).
§ Identify the missing third view from a choice of four possible responses.
§ Identify and explain common line types used on prints.
§ Identify drafting symbols and selected features associated with metal forming (i.e., shearforms, bends, extrusions, notches, holes, thread callouts, etc.).
§ Select 12 basic GD&T symbols and provide a working definition of each.
