Course Objective

To learn the principles and techniques of dimensioning and preparation of drawings, to develop the ability to accurately interpret engineering drawings, and to learn the features of CAD software.

Module-wise Syllabus

Module 1

9 contact hours

Introduction: relevance of technical drawing, types of lines, dimensioning, BIS code of practice (no questions for ESE). Projection of points in different quadrants, projection of straight lines inclined to one plane and to both planes, traces of a line, inclination of lines with reference planes, true length and true inclinations of a line inclined to both reference planes.

Module 2

9 contact hours

Projection of simple solids — triangular, rectangular, square, pentagonal and hexagonal prisms, pyramids, cone, cylinder and tetrahedron. Projection of solids in simple position including profile view; projection of solids with axis inclined to one and to both reference planes.

Module 3

9 contact hours

Sections of Solids: sections of tetrahedron, prisms, pyramids, cone, cylinder with axis in vertical position cut by different section planes; true shape of sections (excluding true-shape-given problems). Development of Surfaces: development of surfaces of solids and solids cut by different section planes (excluding problems with through holes).

Module 4

9 contact hours

Isometric Projection: isometric scale, isometric view and projections of prisms, pyramids, cone, cylinder, frustum of pyramid, frustum of cone, sphere, hemisphere and their combinations. Computer Aided Drawing (CAD): introduction, role of CAD in design and product development, advantages of CAD, creating two-dimensional drawings with dimensions using suitable software (internal evaluation only).
