Outcomes
At the end of the course, the students will be able to:
1.Understand the theory of projection. To improve the
visualization skills.
2. Know and understand the conventions and the methods of
engineering drawing.
3. Identify the orthographic views of a given 3D objects precisely.
4. Predict the isometric view of an object from the given
orthographic views correctly.
5. Sketch sectional views of an object if needed.
6. Sketch orthographic and sectional views using AutoCAD

Mark
Distribution
•Total mark will be distributed tentatively as follows:
Attendance 10%
Class Performance 30%
Viva 10%
Midterm Quiz 25%
Final Quiz (CAD) ___25%
Total 100%
Students are given a task to draw in every class and it is evaluated and returned
back in the next class. Preserve the drawing sheets as you will have to submit
them before quiz. The best six marks from all the class-works will be counted.
The viva or oral exam will be taken during any of the classes. The date will be
announced later.
Applicati
Try to describe the object above to on
another person who has not seen it
and see if he/she understands or
not. You can easily realize that words
are inadequate to describe the
object completely.
To build or manufacture any object,
its complete information has to be
provided to the manufacturer.
Mechanical drawing of an object
provides complete information of it.

Parallel Projection and Perspective
Projection
Parallel Projection: Perspective Projection:
1.The lines of sight are 1.The lines of sight converge to one (or
parallel more) point(s).
2. Parallel lines remain 2. Size varies inversely with distance.
parallel So, looks more realistic.
3. Good for exact 3. Parallel lines do not remain parallel.

Projection

Projection
The object is placed between the
observer and the plane of projection. i.e.

will be no line. So, there should be a line in
the views.
Dimensioning
Guidelines
1.Dimension and extension lines must
be either horizontal or vertical.
2.No dimension/extension line can
cross over another
dimension/extension line.
3.There must be one arrowhead at
each end of dimension line.
4.The thickness of both extension and
dimension line is 25%.
5.No dimensioning is allowed inside
the object.

How to use T-square and
Triangles
The T extension at the end of the T-
square should always remain aligned
with the side of the drawing table.
This will cause it to remain horizontal.
Daily Task
•Before the class starts:
Draw margins on your drawing sheet. Margins should be 10mm at all of four sides of
the sheet.
At bottom right corner, sketch the following
