PRDE 1250 - Basic Blueprint Reading

Credit Hours: 2.00


Prerequisites: None

(formerly DRBP 1500)

The purpose of this modularized blueprint reading course is to develop the learner’s skill to read and interpret engineering drawings at the entry level. Topics include drawing terminology; title block; revision column; notes; dimensions and tolerances applications; types of lines; basic symbols; conventions; symmetry of assembly; detail working drawings; and isometric/3D, orthographic, auxiliary, and section views.

Billable Contact Hours: 4

OUTCOMES AND OBJECTIVES
Outcome 1: Upon completion of this course, students will identify types of lines and views used in engineering drawings.

Objectives:

  1. Using an engineering mechanical working drawing with completed information, the learner will identify which lines are hidden, object, extension, and section with an accuracy of 100%.
  2. Using an engineering mechanical working drawing with completed information, the learner will recognize the front, top, and right side views, identify if the print is drawn in first or third angle projection, and detect features (plain hole, and threaded hole) in one view and find those same features in another view with an accuracy of 100%.
  3. Using an engineering mechanical working drawing with completed information, the learner will identify the front, top, right side left side, auxiliary, and section views according to their placement on the print. Or at the option of the administering institution, given an actual part (by the administering institution) the learner will match the views to the appropriate surfaces. Performance is satisfactory when the learner has correctly identified or matched the appropriate surfaces with an accuracy of 100%.
  4. Using an engineering mechanical working drawing with orthographic and isometric views, the learner will correctly identify the isometric view and provide a written 50-word (minimum) description of the differences and relationship between an isometric and orthographic view. Performance is satisfactory when the description is complete and submitted to the administering institution/facilitator.

Outcome 2: Upon completion of this course, students will recognize and interpret the attributes of the assembly and detail engineering drawings.

Objectives:

  1. Using an engineering mechanical working drawing and a list of multiple choice definitions, the learner will define the following basic blueprint terminology:
    1. Title block
    2. Border
    3. Views
    4. Notes
    5. Revision block Performance will be considered satisfactory when the learner has filled in all of terminology blanks with the correct definitions, and determine the intent and use of the assembly and detail working drawing in industry with an accuracy of 100%.
  2. Using an illustration of an engineering mechanical working drawing title block with completed information and a list of multiple choice answers, the learner will interpret the following essential components found in a title block:
    1. Company Name
    2. Part Name and Part Number
    3. Material
    4. Name Of Designer
    5. Checker
    6. Revision History Performance is considered satisfactory when the learner has matched the essential component to the correct answer with an accuracy of 100%.
  3. Using an illustration of an engineering mechanical working drawing title block with completed information and a list of multiple-choice answers, the learner will determine the scale of the drawing. Performance is considered satisfactory when the learner has matched the scale to the correct answer with an accuracy of 100%.
  4. Using an engineering mechanical working drawing and a revision block with completed information and a list of multiple choice answers, the learner will match the progress of design changes, symbols and notations, and one revision from the revision block with the drawing feature to the correct answers, with an accuracy of 100%.
  5. Using an engineering mechanical working drawing and a revision block with completed information, the learner will choose the most current revision and drawing that does not contain revisions with an accuracy of 100%.

Outcome 3: Upon completion of this course, students will interpret engineering drawing measurement and dimensioning.

Objectives:

  1. Using an engineering mechanical working drawing with completed dimensioning information and list of multiple choice answers, the learner will differentiate between dimensions of location, size, ordinate, baseline, and tabular with an accuracy of 100%.
  2. Using an engineering mechanical working drawing with completed tolerance dimensioning, the learner will differentiate between an implied and specific tolerance with an accuracy of 100%.

Outcome 4: Upon completion of this course, students will interpret engineering drawing notes.

Objectives:

  1. Using an engineering mechanical working drawing with completed information, the learner will identify the following ANSI and ISO general note symbols and their application within a manufacturing environment with an accuracy pf 100%:
    1. Tool and abrasive finishing
    2. Steel content (numbering system)
    3. Press and slip fit
  2. Using an engineering mechanical working assembly drawing and (2) related detail working drawings with completed information, the learner will locate the following notes on the assembly working drawing:
    1. Operational notes
    2. Informational notes
    3. Part name
    4. Number required
    5. Stock size
    6. Material
    7. Heat treating
    8. Special information contained within the sub-title block Performance is considered satisfactory when the learner has located the notes within a time limit of two minutes per note and with an accuracy of 100%.
  3. Using an engineering mechanical working assembly and related detail working drawings with completed information and list of multiple choice answers, the learner will interpret commonly used abbreviations and terminology used on prints in the manufacturing environment which will include:
    1. HRS (Hot Rolled Steel)
    2. CRS (Cold Rolled Steel)
    3. SOC
    4. HD
    5. SCR (Socket Head Screw)
    6. P.F. (Press Fit)
    7. S.F. (Slip Fit)
    8. DIA (Diameter)
    9. I.D. (Inside Diameter),
    10. O.D. (Outside Diameter)
    11. MM (Millimeter) Performance is considered satisfactory when the learner has matched the abbreviation to the correct answer within a time limit of two minutes per term and 100% accuracy. Also, to be documented by a third party observer at the option of the administering institution.
