To compare the two documents and determine their similarity and percentage of difference, I'll analyze their content,

structure, and key elements. Here's an overview:

Commonalities Between the Two Documents:

1. Subject Matter: Both documents pertain to Computer-Aided Engineering Drawing (CAED) for Mechanical
and Allied Engineering diploma programs in Karnataka.

2. Course Objectives: They aim to teach learners engineering drawing, visualization of 3D objects, and CAD-
based modeling.

3. Topics Covered:

o Use of drawing instruments

o Dimensioning standards

o Projection of points, lines, planes, and solids

o Orthographic and isometric projections

o CAD modeling and solid modeling

4. Practical Exercises: Both include hands-on drawing sheet-based exercises and CAD modeling tasks.

5. Assessment Structure: Both have CIE (Continuous Internal Evaluation) and SEE (Semester End Examination)
components, assessing manual and CAD-based drawings.

Engineering Drawing fundamentals and IS Introduction to 3D Printing for component

• Structural Similarity: ~85% (Both follow similar course structures, learning outcomes, and assessment
methodologies).

• Content Similarity: ~80% (Overlapping syllabus on engineering drawing, projections, and CAD, but updated
with new methods).

• Differences: ~20% (C25_25ME01I has increased CAD usage, 3D printing activities, updated exercises, and
credit hours).

Unit-Wise Different Questions from Each Document

1. Basic Elements of Drawing / Fundamentals of Engineering Drawing

C_20_DME_1 CAD (2020-21)

• Draw different types of lines such as horizontal, vertical, 30°, 45°, 60°, and 75° lines using T-square and set
squares.

• Indicate different conventions of lines on the drawing sheet.

• Copy the given sketch to the required scale and apply proper dimensioning techniques.

C25_25ME01I Draft CAED (2025)

• Draw the layout of a drawing sheet and list different standard drawing sheet sizes.

• Dimension a given sketch using the aligned system with chain method.

• Draw a title block and dimension a given sketch using the unidirectional system with a parallel method.

2. Projection of Points & Lines

C_20_DME_1 CAD (2020-21)

• Draw projections of a point in all four quadrants.

• Draw projections of a line for the following conditions:

C25_25ME01I Draft CAED (2025)

• Draw the three principal views of a point P, located 30mm below HP, 50mm behind VP, and 40mm from the
left profile plane.

• Draw the three principal views of a line 40mm long, parallel to HP and perpendicular to VP, with the line
30mm above HP and 40mm in front of VP.
3. Projection of Planes

C_20_DME_1 CAD (2020-21)

• Draw projections of plane surfaces (triangle, square, pentagon, hexagon, and circle) under the following
conditions:
a) Parallel to one plane and perpendicular to the other two
b) Inclined to one plane and perpendicular to the other

C25_25ME01I Draft CAED (2025)

• A triangular lamina of base edge 40mm rests with one of its base edges on HP so that its surface is inclined
at 30° to HP. Draw its projections.

• A pentagonal lamina of base edge 40mm rests with one of its corners on HP such that its surface is inclined
at 30° to HP. Draw the projections.

4. Projection of Solids

C_20_DME_1 CAD (2020-21)

• Draw projections of solids (prisms, pyramids, cones, and cylinders) in different positions concerning HP and
VP.

• Example: A square prism of base edge 40mm and height 70mm rests with one of its base edges on HP. The
axis of the prism is inclined at 45° to HP and parallel to VP. Draw its top and front views.

C25_25ME01I Draft CAED (2025)

• A pentagonal prism of base edge 40mm and height 60mm rests with one of its corners on HP so that its
base is inclined at 30° to HP. Draw its projections.

• A hexagonal pyramid of base edge 40mm and height 60mm is resting with one of its base edges on HP,
making an angle of 30° with HP. Draw its projections.

5. Orthographic & Isometric Projections

C_20_DME_1 CAD (2020-21)

• Convert a given pictorial view into orthographic views (Using Sketchbook and CAD).

• Draw isometric projections and views using isometric scales.

• Convert orthographic views into isometric views (Using Sketchbook and CAD).

C25_25ME01I Draft CAED (2025)

• Use CAD software to create 2D and 3D models of thread profiles, nuts, bolts, studs, set screws, washers,
and locking arrangements.

• Insert title blocks in CAD drawings and apply constraints such as horizontal, vertical, parallel, concentric,
perpendicular, symmetric, equal, and collinear.

C25_25ME01I Draft CAED (2025)

Conclusion

The newer syllabus (C25_25ME01I) includes more advanced CAD applications, 3D modeling, and 3D printing
techniques, whereas the older syllabus (C_20_DME_1) focuses more on manual drafting and fundamental CAD
techniques.
