15. MODULE DESCRIPTOR

This module will assist learners to acquire knowledge and develop skills in the use of
drawing equipment, production of lines, construction of geometric figures. The learners
will develop skills to read and make isometric and orthographic projections. They will
also convert isometric drawing to orthographic and vice versa.

16. MODULE AIM

To develop knowledge and skills used in geometric construction and presentation of


isometric and orthographic drawings.

17. INTENDED OUTCOMES

By the end of this module learners should be able to:

 Use drawing equipment


 Use lines to produce drawings
 Construct geometric figures
 Produce drawings in isometric projection
 Construct drawing in orthographic projection
 Convert isometric to orthographic projection and vice versa.
