ATDD 2911 - Drafting - Fundamentals of Descriptive Geometry

Credits: 2.00
(2 contact hrs)
This course uses practical application to solve engineering problems through the projection of three-dimensional figures onto a two-dimensional plane surface. Students will utilize orthographic techniques to yield solutions such as the true length of a line, end/point view of a line, true shape of a plane, and edge view of a plane.
South Campus.

OUTCOMES AND OBJECTIVES
Outcome 1: Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to project points and lines in the principle views using orthographic projection.

Objectives: Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:

  1. Develop reference planes.
  2. Project points, straight lines and curved lines in all principle views.
  3. Create intersecting and non-intersecting lines in all principle views.
  4. Construct points and lines in and on the plane in all principle views.

Outcome 2: Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to develop necessary auxiliary views using orthographic projection.

Objectives: Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:

  1. Construct true length of an oblique line.
  2. Develop true view of an inclined plane.
  3. Construct true view and end view of an oblique line.
  4. Determine true view and true angles between planes.

Outcome 3: Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to develop necessary orthographic views using rules of parallelism and perpendicularity to yield proper measurements.

Objectives: Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:

  1. Construct line parallel to a line.
