Engineering drawings ENGI 1309

Course description:

This course is an introduction to the students about the basic and standard for drawing technique. The drawing technique is emphasized in how to draw an object graphically, to study multiview, pictorial drawings and to sketch, geometric construction, sectioning, lettering, dimensioning and auxiliary projections. The course presents theories and principles of orthographic projection. Studies the analysis and graphic presentation of space relationships of fundamental geometric elements: points, lines, planes and solids.

Course Aims:

The aims of this course are to explore the following points:
  •  An understanding of how graphical methods can be used to communicate information about engineering products. 
  •  The importance of course as a step for anyone thinking of taking up a career in engineering
  •  How to produce engineering drawings of different components, assemblies using a variety of sketching and drawing techniques.
  •  Student’s visualization skills.

Course outcomes:

Upon completion of this course, the student should be able to:
  •  Identify and use the basic tools of engineering drawing.
  •  Sketch engineering components (lines, arches, polygons, isometries….etc.) using engineering drawing tools.
  •  Interpret engineering drawings that comply with drawing standards.
  •  Understand the theory of projection.
  •  Produce engineering drawings.
  •  Develop adequate visualization skills.
  •  Be able to prepare a basic layout.
