Course Outcome
• At the end of the course, the students will be able to:
Understand the theory of projection. To improve the
visualization skills.
Know and understand the conventions and the methods of
engineering drawing.
Identify the orthographic views of a given 3D objects
precisely.
Predict the isometric view of an object from the given
orthographic views correctly.
Sketch auxiliary and sectional views of an object if needed.

Reference Book

The most common book to follow:


Mechanical Engineering Drawing
-Dr. Amalesh Chandra Mandal
-Dr. Md. Quamrul Islam

You may also look for resources online.

Lecture Plan

Lecture 1: Introduction: Basic Drawing Practice


Lecture 2: Orthogonal views of simple block with circular
holes
Lecture 3: Orthogonal views with fillets and rounds
Lecture 4: Sectional views

Marks Distribution
• Total mark will be distributed as follows:
Attendance 10%
Class Performance 40%
Viva 10%
Final Quiz ___40%
Total 100%
Students are given a task to draw in every class and it is
evaluated and returned back in the next class. The best six
marks from all the class-works will be counted.
The viva or oral exam will be taken during any of the classes.
The date will be announced later.

Why Mechanical Drawing

 Try to describe the object above to another person who has not seen it
and see if he/she understands or not. You can easily realize that words
are inadequate to describe the object completely.
 To build or manufacture any object, its complete information has to be
provided to the manufacturer.
 Mechanical drawing of an object provides complete information of it.

6
Principal Views
Any object can be observed or seen from different angles. The
views from different angles are different.
When an object is seen exactly perpendicular to its front face,
the view is called FRONT VIEW. Similarly when the object is
seen exactly perpendicular to its right face, the view is known as
RIGHT SIDE VIEW. Thus the following principal views exist:
Front View
Top View
Right Side View
Left Side View
Rear View
Bottom View

7
Concept of Perspective
The concept of perspective
includes the change of
apparent dimension with
distance.
It seems that the road is
narrower in the distant part
but actually it is not.
Distant part of an object
creates a smaller “view angle”
at the point of observation.
So, it looks smaller.

8
Parallel Projection and Perspective Projection
Parallel Projection:
The lines of sight are parallel
Parallel lines remain parallel
Good for exact measurement
Less realistic looking

Perspective Projection:
The lines of sight converge to one
(or more) point(s).
Size varies inversely with distance.
So, looks more realistic.
Parallel lines do not remain parallel.
9
First Angle and Third Angle Projections
Cut your art paper as shown below and fold it to form a box.
(Don’t cut in real, just imagine that you have done it.)
You have to draw different views of the object on different
planes of the box.

10
First Angle and Third Angle Projections
• First Angle Projection:
 The object is placed between the observer and the plane of
projection. i.e. between you and the drawing plane. Each face of
the box contains the view that satisfies the above condition.

11
First Angle and Third Angle Projections
First Angle Projection (Cotd..):
Then unfold the box. You will get
something as follows.

12
First Angle and Third Angle Projections
• Third Angle Projection:
The plane of projection i.e. the art paper is placed between
the observer and the object. Each plane of the box contains
the view that satisfies the above condition.

13
First Angle and Third Angle Projections
• Third Angle Projection (Cotd..):
Then unfold the box. You will get something as follows.
Unlike first angle
projection, you will get
the top view on top of
the front view, left side
view on left and right
side view on the right.

We will
follow this
method.

Where to Draw a Line

At the intersection of two planes, an edge is formed. Lines


are drawn to represent these edges
Red Line is due to the intersection of two red planes shown
in the isometric view
Each segment of green line is due to the intersection of blue
plane and green planes
17
Where to Draw a Line

If a curved surface is


tangent to a plane surface,
no edge is formed. So,
there will be no line.

But if a curved surface


intersects with a plane
surface, an edge is
formed. So, there should
be a line in the views.

Necessary Instruments
• What you have to bring everyday:
Drawing Sheet/Paper (724mm x 585mm)
Pencil (2B), eraser and sharpener
T-square/T-scale (1 m)
Set-squares/triangles (large)
 30 degrees
 45 degrees
Divider
Drafting tape/Masking tape

19
Necessary Instruments

Drafting Tape

T-square and
Triangle

Divider

20
How to Use T-square and Triangles
The T extension at the end of
the T-square should always
remain aligned with the side
of the drawing table. This will
cause it to remain horizontal.

21
Daily Task
• Before the class starts:
Draw margins on your drawing sheet. Margins should be 10mm
at all of four sides of the sheet.
At bottom right corner, sketch the following.

22
Daily Task

So, your drawing paper looks like this.
