Module Code and Title : EGP101 Engineering Graphics

Programme : BE in Civil Engineering

Credit : 12
Module Tutor : Tenzin Loden
Module Coordinator : Tenzin Loden
General Objective:
The module will introduce students to the fundamentals of Engineering drawing, an essential
means of communication in engineering and to develop cognitive and psychomotor skills which
enable them to visualize images and their dimensions. The module will also engage students
through hands-on exercises and computer graphics as a tool to create and present objects into
pictorial position and transform them into technical illustration.
Learning Outcomes:
On completion of the module, students will be able to:
1. Illustrate drawing layout and templates
2. Describe various drawing instruments and conventions
3. Use scales and dimensions in geometrical constructions.
4. Demonstrate project points, lines, planes and solids.
5. Generate precise orthographic projections, isometric drawings and sectional views.
6. Develop proficiency in creating object representations using computer-aided design
applications.
7. Interpret engineering drawings.

Assessment Approach:
Assessments will be carried out on a continuous basis through the following assignments and a
semester-end exam.
A. Mid-term: (20%)
Students will take a 2-hour written exam in the 7th week of the semester, covering Units
I-IV achieving learning outcomes 1, 2 and 3
B. Assignment: (40%)
An assignment will be given for one to two weeks duration in the 3rd, 5th, 8th and 12th
week respectively. All four assignments will be marked out of 20% each. This will be
 converted to 10% each while computing the total marks for the module. The contents of
the assignment are as follows:
● Assignments I for 10 marks will be covering Unit I-II (Present an engineering
drawing illustrating sheet layout and title block with usage of engineering letters.
Also, geometrical construction and construction of scales with proper
dimensions).
● Assignments II for 10 marks will be covering Unit III (Demonstrate orthographic
projection of points and lines in four different quadrants).
● Assignments III for 10 marks will be covering Unit IV-V (Analyze and demonstrate
orthographic projection of planes and solids).
● Assignments IV for 10 marks will be covering Unit VI-VII (Analyze and
demonstrate perspective view of different solid objects, sectioning of solid and
interpret isometric and orthographic drawing using computer-aided design
applications).
Assessment Criteria (Assignment):
1 Title block
1 Neatness
2 Completeness of problems
5 Content and correctness
1 Drawn on scale and dimensions shown
C. Semester-end exam: (40%)
Students will undertake a semester-end examination which is closed book for 4 hours of
40 marks covering the units taught. The question paper will be set as per the prescribed
format of the College.
