Module Code and Title : EGP101 Engineering Graphics

Programme : BE in Civil Engineering

Credit : 12
Module Tutor : Ms. Bhawani Shankar, Sangay Dema, Karma Yangzom :
Module Coordinator

General Objective:
The module will introduce students to the fundamentals of Engineering drawing, an
essential means of communication in engineering and to develop cognitive and
psychomotor skills which enable them to visualize images and their dimensions. The
module will also engage students to use computer graphics as a tool to define and
present the object into pictorial position and transform them into technical illustration
Learning Outcomes:

On completion of the module, students will be able to:

1. Illustrate drawing layout and templates
2. Describe various drawing instruments and conventions
3. Use scales and dimensions in geometrical constructions.
4. Sketch the projections lying in different quadrants and orientations.
5. Illustrate practice perspective orthographic and isometric views of objects.
6. Demonstrate project points, lines, planes and solids.
7. Illustrate representation in first and third angle systems of projections.
8. Interpret engineering drawings.

Subject Matter:

Unit I: General

1.1 Importance, significance and scope of engineering drawing, lettering.

1.2 I.S. drawing conventions- line symbols, kinds of line, drawing sheet lay-out, rules
of printing, sense of proportioning.

Unit II: Size Description

2.1 Tools of dimensioning, size and location dimensions.

2.2 Principles and conventions of dimensioning, types of scales and their construction
and uses, preferred scales.

Unit III: Projection of Points and Lines

3.1 Introduction to planes of projection, reference and auxiliary planes.

2.3 Projections of points and lines in different quadrants, traces, inclinations, and true
lengths of the lines.
2.4 Projections on auxiliary planes, shortest distance intersecting and non-
intersecting lines.

Unit IV: Projections of Planes

4.1 Different cases of plane figures (of different shapes) making different angles with
one or both reference planes and lines lying in the plane figures making different
given angles (with one or both reference planes).
4.2 Obtaining true shape of the plane figure by projection.

Unit V: Projection of Solids

5.1 Projection of simple solids - prisms, pyramids, cylinders, cones and spheres with
simple cases when solid is placed in different positions w.r.t. axis, faces and lines
lying in the faces of the solid making given angles.

Unit VI: Sections of Solids

6.1 Importance of sectioning, principles of sectioning, types of sections, cutting plane
representation, section lines, and conventional practices.

Unit 7: Projections

7.1 Perspective, orthographic, isometric and oblique projections, isometric scale, isometric
drawing.
7.2 Representation in first and third angle systems of projections.
