a)Communication: Check your E-mails

frequently for announcements, handouts,
solutions, and other downloads.

b)Attendance: Class attendance is

imperative.
c) Quiz format: There shall be many quizzes
throughout the semester. Also, keep in mind
that quizzes may be announced or
unannounced!

d) Neatness of Work: success in engineering requires a
clear thought process and well-organized problem solving.
Your grade will suffer if your assignments are difficult to grade
due to sloppiness, scribbles, cross-outs, and an otherwise
disorganized and difficult-to-follow solution.
e) Emergency Circumstances: If necessary, you can
an email to me.
f) Cell Phones: Please turn off your cell phone/ electronic
devices while in class/test.
g) Consultation: I am available during posted office hours,
and you can make an appointment with me via email if you
cannot attend office hours.

Sketching Process
Graphics in Design Process
Technical graphics is a real and complete language used
in the design process for:

1. Visualization
2. Communication
3. Documentation
Visualization
• Visualization is the ability to mentally picture things that
are not there.
• Ability to visualize problem solutions and communicate
them through sketches is one of the most important skill
of a designer.
Communication
• Refinement of your initial sketches
so that your design solution can be
communicated to others without
ambiguity.

• Usually done by creating a three

dimensional (3D) model
Documentation
• Is a process to permanently record
that solution.

• 2D drawing follow strict standard

practices.

• These standards are the language

used to communicate graphically.
Drawing
• A drawing is a graphical representation of objects and
structures and is done using freehand, mechanical or
computer methods.

• A drawing serves as
a graphic model or
representation of real object
or idea.
Engineering Graphics
• It refers basically to the use of drawings to represent
design ideas, configurations and specifications and to
use analysis required for an engineering project.
Engineering Drawing

• An engineering drawing is a set of drawings that

communicates an idea, design, schematic or model.
• Engineering drawing is an universal graphic language,
known as the language of engineers.
• It is used by engineers to develop and record their ideas
and transmit them to others for execution.
• Engineering drawing can express the complete
information about any object with exactness and details.
Different types of drawing
For e.g. mechanical/mechatronics engineers need
productions drawing to manufacture a component or
assembly.
Standards
Standards are sets of rules that govern how technical
drawing are presented.

Some common standards are:

• ANSI: American national standard institute
• ASME: American society of mechanical engineers.
• ISO: International standard organization.
• JIS: Japanese standards
• MIL: U.S. Military
