ENGINEERING DRAWING
I.

COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course provides students for drawing skills in modern, technological
intensive industries. Engineering drawing is a two dimensional
representation of three dimensional objects. In general, it
provides
necessary information about the shape, size, surface quality, material,
manufacturing process, etc., of the object. It is the graphic language from
which a trained person can visualize objects. Drawings prepared in one
country may be utilized in any other country irrespective of the
language spoken. Hence, engineering drawing is called the universal
language of engineers. Any language to be communicative, should follow
certain rules so that it conveys the same meaning to every one. Similarly,
drawing practice must follow certain rules, if it is to serve as a
means of communication.
The ability to read drawing is the most important requirement of all
technical people in any profession. As compared to verbal or written
description, this method is brief and more clear. Some of the
applications are : building drawing for civil engineers, machine drawing for
mechanical engineers, circuit diagrams for electrical and electronics
engineers, computer graphics for one and all.
The subject in general is designed to impart the following skills.
1. Ability to read and prepare engineering drawings.
2. Ability to make free - hand sketching of objects.
3. Power to imagine, analyze and communicate, and
4. Capacity to understand other subjects.
Engineering drawings are prepared on standard size drawing sheets. The
correct shape and size of the object can be visualized from the
understanding of not only its views but also from the various types of
lines used, dimensions, notes, scale etc. For uniformity, the drawings
must be drawn as per certain standard practice. This is adapted from
what is followed by International Standards Organization (ISO).
Engineering drawing is constantly changing and the computer has
revolutionized the way in which drawings and parts are made.
Autocad is a very popular, flexible software system that allows the user to
create both 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional models and drawings.
Autocad is a drafting and design software package developed and
marketed by Autodesk, Inc. Anything you can think of, you can draw
quickly and easily. Autocad remains a superb electronic drafting board,
replacing the pencil and paper for an entire generation of technical
professionals. The software has a rather steep learning curve to become
an expert but a surprisingly easy one to just get started. Most important,
it is well worth learning. This is truly global software that has been
adopted by millions of architects, designers, and engineers worldwide.
