What You Will Learn

This course covers essential topics in Engineering Graphics, guiding you from basic concepts to more advanced techniques.

Unit 1: Basic Geometrical Construction

• You will learn about different drawing instruments and how to set up drawing sheets.

• You will practice using scales, including plain, diagonal, and vernier scales.

• You will construct conic sections such as ellipses, parabolas, and hyperbolas.

• You will create engineering curves, including cycloids and spirals.

Unit 2: Projections of Points and Lines

• You will understand orthographic projection principles and conventions.

• You will project points located in various quadrants.

• You will learn to project lines that are parallel or inclined to reference planes.

• You will determine true lengths and inclinations of lines.

Unit 3: Projections of Planes and Solids

• You will project regular polygons and circles, including planes inclined to reference planes.

• You will project polyhedra such as prisms and pyramids, as well as solids of revolution like cylinders and cones.

• You will position solids with axes inclined to one or both reference planes.

Unit 4: Section of Solids and Development of Surfaces

• You will create sectional views of prisms, cylinders, pyramids, and cones.

• You will find the true shape of cut sections.

• You will learn to develop surfaces by unfolding lateral surfaces of solid objects.

Unit 5: Isometric and Orthographic Conversions

• You will understand isometric projection principles and how to create isometric views of solids.

• You will convert 3D isometric views into 2D orthographic views and vice versa.

Unit 6: Computer-Aided Drafting (CAD)

• You will be introduced to CAD tools like AutoCAD.

• You will practice basic 2D drafting, modifying commands, dimensioning, and layering.

This structured approach will help you build a solid foundation in Engineering Graphics.
