1. COURSE OBJECTIVE

At the end of the course, students should understand:

 The different types of projection techniques.
 How to sketch multi – view drawings of any given pictorial drawings
 How to sketch pictorial drawings of given multi – view drawings
 Sketching auxiliary and sectional views as a supplement of multi – view drawings.
 How to find intersection lines of different geometries and development of surfaces.
2. COURSE RATIONALE
This course will help learners to have a deep understanding of their area of specialization by
providing basic knowledge of engineering drawing concepts.
3. COURSE DESCRIPTION
An engineering drawing, a type of technical drawing, is used to fully and clearly define
requirements for engineered items. Engineering drawing (the activity) produces
engineering drawings (the documents). More than just the drawing of pictures, it is also a
language graphical language that communicates ideas and information from one mind to
another. Most especially, it communicates all needed information from the engineer who
designed a part to the workers who will make it. The module is included in the program to
educate students on the use and application of Engineering Drawing, so that the machines and
equipment they design in future will solve such problems on the application area.
