OBJECTIVES

To develop in students, graphic skills for communication of concepts, ideas and design of 

engineering products and expose them to existing national standards related to  technical

drawings.

Concepts and conventions (Not for Examination)                  1

Importance of graphics in engineering applications – Use of drafting instruments – BIS

conventions and specifications – Size, layout and  folding of drawing sheets – Lettering and

dimensioning.

        

UNIT I          PLANE CURVES AND FREE HAND SKETCHING                                     14

Basic Geometrical constructions, Curves used in engineering practices

        Conics – Construction of ellipse, parabola and hyperbola by eccentricity method – Construction 

of cycloid – construction of involutes of square and circle – Drawing of tangents and normal to

the above curves, Scales: Construction of Diagonal and Vernier scales.

Visualization concepts and Free Hand sketching: Visualization principles –Representation

of Three Dimensional objects – Layout of views- Free hand sketching of multiple views

from pictorial views of objects9

UNIT II          PROJECTION OF POINTS, LINES AND PLANE SURFACES                  14

Orthographic projection- principles-Principal planes-First angle projection-Projection of points.  

Projection of straight lines (only First angle projections) inclined to both the principal planes 

- Determination of true lengths and true inclinations by rotating line method and trapezoidal 

method and traces

Projection of planes (polygonal and circular surfaces) inclined to both the principal planes by 

rotating object method.

UNIT  III PROJECTION OF SOLIDS                                                                                    14                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            

Projection of simple solids like prisms, pyramids, cylinder, cone and truncated solids when the

axis  is  inclined to one of the principal planes by rotating object method and auxiliary plane 

method.

UNIT IV  PROJECTION OF SECTIONED SOLIDS AND DEVELOPMENT OF  SURFACES

                                                                                                                                                     14                                                                                                                              

Sectioning of above solids in simple vertical position when the cutting plane is inclined to the 

one of the principal planes and perpendicular to the other – obtaining true shape of section. 

Development of lateral surfaces of simple and sectioned solids – Prisms, pyramids cylinders and 

cones. Development of lateral surfaces of solids with cut-outs and holes

UNIT V         ISOMETRIC AND PERSPECTIVE PROJECTIONS                                      15                                           

Principles of isometric projection – isometric scale –Isometric projections of  simple solids and 

truncated solids  - Prisms,  pyramids, cylinders,  cones-    combination of two solid objects in

simple vertical positions and miscellaneous  problems. Perspective projection of simple solidsPrisms, pyramids and  cylinders by visual ray method and vanishing point method.

COMPUTER AIDED DRAFTING (DEMONSTRATION ONLY)                                         3           

Introduction to drafting packages and demonstration of their use.
