3. AIMS

The aim of this module is to provide students with a sound knowledge of the rules of tech-

nical/engineering drawing. It is expected that this will motivate them in using CAD software, e.g. Au-

toCAD 2014, as a tool for producing engineering drawings to the required standards. Appropriate

exercises will be proposed during practice hours.

The objectives are to:

introduce the basic concepts of engineering drawing in the design and manufacturing field;

present the basic knowledge and develop the studentsskills in engineering drawing using man-

ual drawing tools and CAD software;

apprise students about the standards for engineering drawing;

promote the use of drawing techniques to represent objects graphically, machine parts individu-

ally and in assembly;

familiarize students with dimensioning, use of scales and other methods that allow describing

objects for the purpose of manufacturing;

develop studentsability to read and interpret engineering drawings. Students can also build an

understanding of 2D and 3D computer aided drafting with the requirements of good engineering

drawing practice and be able to apply them to their work.

Drawing (blending of lines, type of lines, line thickness and weight)

Dimensioning

Construction lines (when required)

Information about drawing (title of drawing or name of part, projection symbol, dimension,

scale)

Drawing (with correct layout of views: 1stangle v/s 3rdangle)

Hidden lines/features

AutoCAD

Layout (use of paper space, title block, title block information, SCALE used) Centre lines

Sectioning (hatching...) if any

Use of layers (layer names, colours, line type)

General layout and presentation of the drawing (border lines & title block space)

Blending of lines

Dimensioning

Construction lines (when required)
