Course Objectives:

Engineering drawing is an important tool for all Engineers and for many others professionals. It is the language of Engineers. Engineering Drawing communicates all needed information from the engineer who designed a part to the workers who will manufacture it.

The aim of the subject is to equip students with the fundamentals of Computer Aided Engineering Drawing and to further the ability to communicate information by graphical means.

Course outcomes:  After studying this course,

  • Students will be able to demonstrate the usage of CAD software.
  • Students will be able to visualize and draw Orthographic projections, Sections of solids and Isometric views of solids.
  • Students are evaluated for their ability in applying various concepts to solve practical problems related to engineering drawing.

Question paper pattern

  • Module -1 is only for practice and Internal Assessment and not for examination.
  • Question paper for each batch of students will be sent online by VTU and has to be downloaded before the commencement of Examination of each batch. The answer sheets will have to be jointly evaluated by the Internal & External examiners.
  • A maximum of THREE questions will be set as per the following pattern (No mixing of questions from different Modules).
From Chapters Marks Allotted
Module 2(Choice between (Points+Lines or Planes) 25
Module 3 30
Module 4 or Module 5 25

Total Marks 35 45 80

Students have to submit the computer printouts and the sketches drawn on the graph sheets at the end of the examination. Both Internal & External examiners have to jointly evaluate the solutions (sketches) and computer display & printouts of each student for 80 marks (35 marks for solutions & sketches + 45 marks for computer display and printouts) and submit the marks list along with the solution (sketches) on graph sheets & computer printouts in separate covers.

4. Each batch must consist of a minimum of 10 students and a maximum of 12 students. 5. Examination can be conducted in parallel batches, if necessary.
