Semester: 2nd
Category of the Course: PCC
Prerequisite: Zeal to learn the subject.
The students of mechanical engineering programme are mainly involved in
drafting, manufacturing, inspection and planning activities (such as preparing
process plans, preparing bill of materials, etc.) at industries. For all such activities,
reference document is the drawing of components/assemblies to be manufactured.
In this context, it is of utmost priority to prepare, read and interpret these
drawings correctly for production of components and assemblies. The industrial
Rationale: practices of drafting are also important for the students to make them aware of
drafting practices, symbols, codes, norms and standards generally used in
industries. Development of sketching ability also strengthens effective
engineering communication & presentation.
The advent of computers has made it easier to implement frequent changes as
needed. This course has been designed to enhance students' manual drafting skills
in alignment with CAD software.
