Course Overview
A drawing is a graphic representation of an idea, a concept, or an entity, that actually or potentially
exists in life. The drawing itself is: 1) A way for expressing all necessary information about an
abstraction, such as an idea or a concept. 2) A graphic presentation of some real entity, such as a
house, a machine part, or a tool, for example, drawing is the oldest form of communications.
This Course is very important and is a necessary for other courses such as engineering Mechanics,
strength of materials, Design of reinforced concrete structures, design of steel structures,
foundation design, and civil drawing.

Introduction to Engineering Drawing:
What is the Engineering drawing?
.........................................................
Conventional Instruments:
In drafting no lines are made freehand. Each and every line is drawn using some kind of a
drafting tool. It is up to the drafter to own a complete set of standard drafting tools in order to
be fully functional.
The following is a list of the required drafting equipment.

Dimensioning:
Dimensioning is the process whereby size and location data for the subject of technical drawing are provided. It
is critical that drafters, designers, and engineers be proficient in standard dimensioning practices. The most
widely accepted dimensioning standard is American Society of mechanical engineers document (ASME). Similar
standards are produced by the international standard organization (ISO).
Dimensioning Systems:
Three dimensioning systems are used on technical drawings in the United States. Metric dimensioning, Decimal
inch dimensioning, and Fractional dimensioning. Certain rules of practice with which drafters should be
familiar pertain to each of these dimensioning systems.
1. Metric Dimensioning: The standard metric unit of measurement for use on technical drawing is the
millimeter (0.001 m) or 0.039 inches. When using metric dimensioning, several general rules should be
observed. When the dimension is less than one millimeter, a zero must be placed to the left of the
decimal point.
2. Decimal inch dimensioning: Decimal inch dimensioning is frequently used in the dimensioning of
technical drawings. It is a much less cumbersome system for mechanical drawing than is the fractional
system, and its steel used more than the metric system. When using the decimal inch dimensioning
system, several rules should be observed. If a dimension is less than one inch, only a decimal point and
the numbers of the decimal fraction are required. A zero is not required to precede the decimal point.
3. Fractional Dimensioning: Fractional Dimensioning is not frequently used in mechanical technical
drawings. It is primary use is on architectural and structural engineering drawings. However, since it is
occasionally steel used on mechanical drawings.

Methods of Drawing and Projections:
Descriptive Geometry:
Descriptive geometry is the graphic representation of plane, solid, and analytical geometry used to
describe real or imagined technical devices and objects.
It is the science of graphic representation in engineering design.
Students of technical or engineering graphics need to study plane, solid, analytical, and descriptive
geometry because it forms the foundation or grammar of technical drawings.
Uses of Descriptive Geometry:
Descriptive geometry principles are used to describe any problem that has spatial aspects to it.
For example the application of descriptive geometry is used in:
The design of chemical plants. For the plant to function safely, pipes must be placed to
intersect correctly and to clear each other by a specified distance, and they must correctly
intersect the walls of the buildings.
The design of buildings
The design of road systems
The design of mechanical systems

Orthographic Projection:
Principal planes of projection:
The two principal planes used in orthographic projection are:
1- The horizontal plane, known as the H.P.
2- The vertical plane, known as the V.P.
The two principal planes are intersect at right angles and divide the space into four quadrants or dihedral
angles 1, 2, 3, and 4. The line of intersection of these two planes is called the ground line, or more commonly
the G. L.
Orthographic planes:
1- Elevation or Frontal Plane
2- Side or Profile Plane.
3- Horizontal Plane.
These planes intersect at lines (Axes) which are called X, Y, and Z axes or isometric axes.

Multiple Orthogonal Views:
Imagine that you have an object suspended by transparent threads inside a glass box, as in the figure
below.
Unfold the box and you have the three views. We call this an "orthographic" or "multi-view" drawing.

Sections:
There are many times when the interior details of an object cannot be seen from the outside. An
isometric drawing does not show all details. We can get around this by pretending to cut the object on
a plane and showing the "sectional view". The sectional view is applicable to objects like engine
blocks, where the interior details are intricate and would be very difficult to understand through the use
of "hidden" lines (hidden lines are, by convention, dotted) on an orthographic or isometric drawing.
