Why learn ED?

Engineering graphics provide

means to expression of

thoughts and concepts

involving geometrical shapes

and design between the

designers (engineers) and

fabricators (vendors). Drawing

is a tool to communicate ideas

What are EG?

Engineering graphics are important for:

Visual communicationbetween

Draftsmen and engineers

/ other professionals

Designers / architects and

manufacturers /

contractors

End-users and

sales/support services

Transmission of coding

Relevancy of EG

Every engineer should be able to:

Describe ideas and present them to other

professionals through engineering graphics Read and understand graphics prepared by

others

Three Methods of Communication

THREE (3) methods of communicating the

graphics language:

Free handsketches Manual drafting with hand-held instruments

Computer-aideddrafting/design (CAD)

Manual Drafting ToolsFor manual drafting and/or freehand sketches, the

following may be required:

Board / table

Media (paper: plain, graph)

Utensils

Pencils / pens

Eraser

T-squares and triangles (set squares)

Compass and dividers

Protractor

French curve

CAD Software

Among the popular CAD software used intechnical drawings/draftings are:

AutoCAD (2D, 3D, solid

modeling) Mechanical Desktop (3D,

solid modeling)

Inventor (advanced solidmodeling)

MS Visio (2D with built-in

blocks/libraries)

EG Outputs

The outputs are in the forms of:

Documentation (step-by-step procedure)

Technical drawings

the shape, size, location and other features

of the object(s)

Surface finish, color, assembly or fabrication

methods

Standards and conventions (layout /

template)

Scale

Scalesare graduated measuringinstruments

Drawing scalesrefer to ratio between size

of drawing to actual size of object scale ratio 1:50means actual object is 50

times larger than drawing object

scale ratio 2:1means actual object is half

the size of the drawing object

Units

Engineering

Millimeters (mm)

Inches (in.)

Architectural

Feet ( ' ) and inches ( " )

TWO (2) major unit conventions commonlyused in drawing are:

Note:

A zero is required to the left (but not to the right) ofdecimal point for mm. For inches, vice versa.

Symbols are not required for mm and in.

Dimensions

Linear dimensions horizontal and vertical lines

Angular dimension angles

Diameter places a diameter dimension on circles

Radius

places a radius dimension on circles andarcs

Dimensions are used to indicate the length,radius (diameter) and angle of an object.

Some common terminologies as used in

standard drawing conventions and practices

are:

Proportions

Sketches should be proportional. Dont drawa square that looks like a rectangle or a circle

like an ellipse. The common technique of

sketching is:

Sketch lightly

Check the proportions (between actual & drawing)

Make correction (erase as necessary)

Darken lines (final drawing)

Class Exercise

The correct proportion technique:

1) Concentrate on the overall object size

2) Followed by the medium sized parts

3) Then the smaller ones

4) Darken lines & erase as necessary

Boundary boxrepresent the outer dimensional limits

of the feature being drawn
