Synopsis
The course Engineering Drawing covers introduction and importance of engineering drawing,
drawing instruments, drawing standards and conventions; theories of projection: types and
systems of projections, projections of points and lines; multi-view drawings; pictorial drawing;
auxiliary viewsand sectional view.

Course objectives
The objectives of this course are:
 To enable students to acquire and understand engineering drawing skills as a means of
accurately and clearly communicating ideas, information and instructions.
 To provide an ability to engineering students to produce and use engineering drawings
within engineering activities.

Course Learning Outcome (CLO): At the end of the course the students will be able to:
CLO1 Apply knowledge of drawing conventions and standards in engineering drawing.
CLO2 Sketch letters in accordance with standards and techniques in engineering drawing.
CLO3 Draw point and line projections in accordance within drawing conventions and
standards.
CLO4 Produce multi-view and pictorial drawings using engineering drawing
tool,techniques and conventions.
CLO5 Create auxiliary and sectional views as a supplement of multi-view drawings.
