Engineering Drawing Part I

Description

                This course is all about learning the elements of Technical / Engineering Drawing. A picture is worth a thousand words and an animation is worth a thousand pictures. And by the end of this course, you will realize how easy it gets to learn stuff from animations. This is not merely a subject to consume, but it's a language which allows engineers across various disciplines to communicate. This course is relevant across all disciplines of Engineering be it Mechanical, Civil, Electrical or Computer Science. This is a mandatory first year course in most of the universities globally. 

                 In Part I of Engineering Drawing, we will be covering the following topics in depth:

1. Orthographic Projection: Orthographic projection is a fundamental technique in engineering drawing that allows engineers, designers, and manufacturers to accurately represent three-dimensional objects on a two-dimensional plane. It is a powerful tool that conveys the shape, size, and features of objects through a series of two-dimensional views. With its emphasis on precision and clarity, orthographic projection plays a crucial role in communicating design intent, facilitating analysis, and enabling the realization of complex structures.

2. Orthographic Projection of Points: This is the most basic application of Orthographic Projection where in a "POINT" is projected on Principal Planes. The point could be in any of the four quadrants. In this chapter students learn to construct such projections.

3. Conic Sections: In the realm of engineering drawing, conic sections are a fascinating and versatile group of curves that find numerous applications in various fields, from architecture to mechanical design. These curves are derived from the intersection of a cone with a plane, resulting in visually appealing and mathematically intriguing shapes. The study and understanding of conic sections enable engineers, designers, and manufacturers to accurately represent curves, create aesthetically pleasing designs, and solve complex geometric problems.

4. Cycloidal Curves: These curves are created by the motion of a point on the circumference of a rolling circle. The resulting shapes are not only aesthetically pleasing but also possess functional characteristics that make them valuable in engineering design and analysis. Cycloidal curves find numerous applications in engineering. They are extensively used in gear design to ensure smooth and efficient power transmission. They are also employed in cam design, pendulum clocks, oscillating mechanisms, and many other rotating systems where smooth and controlled motion is crucial.

5. Involute: Involute curves play a crucial role in the design and analysis of gears. An involute is a special curve that is generated by unwrapping a taut string from the base circle of a gear. This unique curve possesses properties that make it ideal for gear tooth profiles, ensuring smooth and efficient power transmission in mechanical systems.

6. Scales: To analyze miniscule and humungous objects a scale is constructed on the drawing sheet. It helps in directly taking the measurements.
