WHY ENGINEERING DRAWING?

Engineering drawing is its own language.

Consists of symbols and conventions which allow those who understand it to document
and communicate effectively regardless of what language they speak.

Used to effectively plan.

Engineering jobs/projects require proper planning to be safe and successful. Engineering
drawing conventions allow projects to be documented and hence thoroughly reviewed
before being executed.

This course is intended to introduce students to the fundamental rules, conventions, and
procedures used for creating and interpreting engineering drawings. Through the use of
several worked examples and practice exercises, students will have the opportunity to
develop their own engineering drawing skills using both manual techniques and computer
aided design (CAD) software.

MENG 1008
DRAWING STANDARDS
Several standards exist which outline the proper and accepted methods for creating,
communicating and documenting drawings.
A standard is something established for use as a rule or basis of comparison in measuring or
judging capacity, quantity, content, extent, value, quality, etc.
Drawing standard organizations:
ISO - International Standards Organization
ANSI - American National Standards Institute
TTBS - TTS Trinidad and Tobago Bureau of Standards

DRAWING TOOLS

T square.
30 and 45 set squares (large 360mm).
Metric ruler.
Large Protractor.
Spring-bow compass.
French curves.
Circle template.
Paper A2 size (420mm x 594mm).
Pencils:
2H: Used for drawing guidelines.
2B: Used for bordering, darkening and writing.

MENG 1008
PREPARING TO DRAW
Setting up your paper:
Place the T-square firmly against the tables edge and on the drawing sheet.
Adjust the top edge of the sheet to align with the drawing (top) edge of the T-square.
Once aligned, tape down the bottom corners.
Ensure that the paper is still aligned properly then tape the top edges.

MENG 1008
PREPARING TO DRAW
Bordering:
Before beginning to draw, your sheet should be bordered. All drawing is to take place within
this border.
Using your ruler or set square, measure and mark a distance of 10mm from each of the 4
sides of the sheet.
Using your T-Square and set squares draw light (2H) lines through these points which are
parallel to the each immediate side of the sheet.
Once this is complete, darken the border using your 2B pencil.

PREPARING TO DRAW
Scales:
Drawings are often done to scale meaning they are drawn with dimensions at a ratio relative to the actual
object being drawn.
The size of the drawing can be smaller than the actual object or larger than the actual object.
E.g. If drawing is half the size of the actual object, scale is 1:2.
If drawing is twice the size of the actual object, the scale if 2:1.
Always dimension the object using the dimensions of the actual object.

Use

Visible Line/Outline

For accentuating lines of importance.

This line should be darker than a
guideline (2B pencil).

Guideline/Construction Line

Very light line used only as a guide

and drawn using 2H pencil

Centerline

Used to designate the centerline of a

circular feature seen from the side

Hidden Line

Used to designate edges which may

be hidden behind the main view of
an object

Section Line

Used to indicate where an object is

cut to reveal internal features
