Learning Outcomes of the course unitBy the end of the course, the students should be able to:
  1. Explain the importance of engineering drawing as a communication tool between engineers, and recognize the details of an engineering drawing.
  2. Recognize the sketching elevations and plans in first and third angle orthographic projection, and identify the role of each line type (visible, hidden, center axis, dimension, section) in engineering drawings.
  3. Apply the basics of descriptive geometry to produce orthographic and isometric engineering drawings, and create drawings with different views (orthographic views and cross sectional views).
  4. Apply the rules for dimensioning and tolerancing, understand the description of surface roughness and represent these on engineering drawings.
  5. Describe all related ISO and DIN standards.
  6. Create drawings of machine elements such as screws, bolts, nuts, springs, cams and bearings.
  7. Determine the differential equations of the deflection curve and the slope by the double-Integration method.
  8. Interpret and generate advanced mechanical drawings, as well as technical drawings of components and assembled mechanical parts.

Course Contents

Linework and Lettering: Visible, Hidden, Center axis, dimension and section lines, and the appropriate lettering size and style.

Orthographic and Isometric projections: Drawing of views in orthographic projection using first and third angle projections, as well as isometric drawings.

Dimensioning Principles: Appropriate dimensions in engineering drawings.

Sections and Sectional Views: Include appropriate sectional views in engineering drawings.

Limits, Fits and Geometrical Tolerances to be calculated and included in engineering drawings.

Drawing of machine components, such as screws, bolts, nuts springs, gears, cams, bearings etc.

Technical drawings of components: Drawing mechanical parts in assembled and exploded view drawings.

Welding and Welding Symbols: Include the appropriate welding symbols were necessary in engineering drawings.

Introduction to Computer Aided Design (CAD): learning the basic steps in a CAD environment, under a 2D sketcher.
