Advanced Level Engineering Drawing
2 sessions of 1.5 hours weekly
This course will enable the students to:
- explore further and confirm the direct relevance of engineering drawing to the varied design applications found in engineering and technology in general;
- further the ability to communicate engineering information by engineering drawings;
- develop further the skill of representing design concepts and solutions using both freehand and accurate drawings;
- develop an accurate level of draughtsmanship that respects established draughting codes, practices and conventions;
- develop a knowledge of two-dimensional (2D) computer-aided draughting (CAD).
The Engineering Drawing Advanced Examination is made up of a continually assessed CAD component and a written examination of two papers. The content includes:
- The cone and the conic sections
- Cycloidal curves
- Spiral curves
- Helices and screw threads
- Involute Spur Gears
- Coplanar loci of points on moving mechanisms
- Cams
- Projections
- Projection of Lines
- Planes
- Intersection of Solids
- Solids in contact
- Developments
- Graphical Statics
- Layout and Presentation
- Orthographic Projection
- Dimensioning and tolerances
- Symbols
- Freehand sketches
