An introduction to Engineering Graphics and Drawing. 

• This unit covers the principles and practice of orthographic Engineering Drawings. It aims at understanding and reading of Engineering Drawings in the fields of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering in 1st and 3rd angle projections. 
• Determination of loci and performance curves of points in mechanisms. Basic loci of conic sections, cycloid, epi-cycloids and their trochoids.
• Sectioning, oblique and isometric projections Curves of interpenetration and developments for sheet metal work.
• The use of BSS308
• Assembly and Working Drawings. 
• Further concepts of Machine drawings orthographic projections.
