Diploma programme in which this course is offered Semester in which offered

Mechanical, Automobile, Marine, Fabrication First

1. RATIONALE
Engineering drawing is a way of communication for engineers. It is a graphical language that
essential for communicating design ideas and technical information to engineers in industry
and other professionals throughout the design process. The purpose of an engineering
drawing is to clearly and accurately capture all geometric features of a product or
component so that a manufacturer or engineer can produce the required item. This course
aims at development of fundamental understanding and application of engineering drawing
so as to develop the ability to prepare, read and interpret drawings correctly and make
aware of drafting practices, symbols, codes, norms and standards generally used in
industries. It covers knowledge & application of drawing instruments & also familiarizes the
learner about codified symbols and principles of technical drawing as per BIS (Bureau of
Indian Standards): “SP 46:2003” standards. The course also intended to develop the sense
of drawing sequence and imagination in the students.

2. COMPETENCY
The purpose of this course is to help the student to attain the following industry identified
competency through various teaching learning experiences.
• Prepare engineering drawings using prevailing drawing standards and drafting
instruments.

3. COURSE OUTCOMES (COs)

The practical exercises, the underpinning knowledge and the relevant soft skills associated
with this competency are to be developed in the student to display the following COs:
a) Use scales, drawing standards and drafting instruments as per BIS codes.
b) Construct polygons, circles and lines with different geometric conditions.
c) Construct engineering curves as per given dimensions.
d) Draw the projection of points, lines and planes under different conditions.
e) Draw orthographic views from isometric views of simple objects and vice versa.

10. SUGGESTED STUDENT ACTIVITIES

Other than the classroom and laboratory learning, following are the suggested student-
related co-curricular activities which can be undertaken to accelerate the attainment of the
various outcomes in this course: Students should perform following activities in group and
prepare reports of about 5 pages for each activity. They should also collect/record physical
evidences for their (student’s) portfolio which may be useful for their placement interviews:
a) Solve all problems for all sheets number 1 to 8 in sketch book (with complete data
and dimensions).
b) Take one circular shape (i.e. tyre). Assume one point on circumference and mark it.
Roll that shape on flat and circular surface. Observe the path of point and correlate
the same with respective engineering curve.
c) Take one circular shape and string which length is equal to circumference of circle.
Try to wound and unwound string on it. Observe the path of point and correlate the
same with respective engineering curve.
d) List few engineering/domestic components in which involute curve is used.
e) Take two simple objects in your vicinity and sketch 3D isometric of them. Also draw
2D orthographic projections of them (all views). Try to clearly and accurately capture
all the geometric features present in the selected objects.
f) Download soft copy of technical drawing of any engineering products. Read and
interpret this drawing (e.g. Car, Cutting tools, gears, bearings etc.).
g) Collect the orthographic views from your facilitator, at least three objects with few
missing lines. The student will try to imagine the corresponding objects, complete the
views and draw these views in sketch book.

NITTTR Bhopal – GTU - COGC-2021 Curriculum

Page 8 of 11
Engineering Drawing Course Code: 4300007

h) Explain at least one problem for construction and method of drawing in sheet to all
batch colleagues. Teacher will assign the problem of particular sheet to be explained
to each batch student.
i) Each student will assess at least one sheet of other students (May be a group of 5-6
students identified by teacher can be taken) and will note down the mistakes
committed by them. Student will also guide the students for correcting the mistakes,
if any.
11. SUGGESTED SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIES (if any)
These are sample strategies, which the teacher can use to accelerate the attainment of the
various outcomes in this course:
a) Massive open online courses (MOOCs) may be used to teach various topics/sub
topics.
b) Guide student(s) in undertaking micro-projects.
c) ‘L’ in section No. 4 means different types of teaching methods that is to be employed
by teachers to develop the outcomes.
d) About 20% of the topics/sub-topics which are relatively simpler or descriptive in
nature is to be given to the students for self-learning, but to be assessed using
different assessment methods.
e) With respect to section No.10, teachers should create opportunities and provisions
for co-curricular activities.
f) Guide students for using BIS “SP 46:2003” standard

12. SUGGESTED MICRO-PROJECTS

Only one micro-project is planned to be undertaken by a student that needs to be assigned
to him/her in the beginning of the semester. In the first four semesters, the micro-project are
group-based (group of 3 to 5). However, in the fifth and sixth semesters, the number of
students in the group should not exceed three.
The micro-project could be industry application based, internet-based, workshop-
based, laboratory-based or field-based. Each micro-project should encompass two or more
COs which are in fact, an integration of PrOs, UOs and ADOs. Each student will have to
maintain dated work diary consisting of individual contribution in the project work and give a
seminar presentation of it before submission. The duration of the microproject should be
about 14-16 (fourteen to sixteen) student engagement hours during the course. The
students ought to submit micro-project by the end of the semester to develop the industry-
oriented COs.
A suggestive list of micro-projects is given here. This has to match the competency and
the COs. Similar micro-projects could be added by the concerned course teacher:
a) Creating Digital Portfolio: Students should Observe and collect photographs and
images of industrial/domestic components/items which contain or their functioning
create shapes/features like polygon, ellipse, parabola, hyperbola, cycloids, involute
and spiral).
b) Technology in education: Refer websites related to use of virtual drawing
instruments and environment like https://www.triumphcloud.com/,
https://www.mathspad.co.uk/. Practice few problems using the virtual drawing
instruments.
c) Model Making: Students should Build 3D model of various object as per shape and
dimension from thermocol, hardboard scrap, wooden scrap, plastic or metal scrap.

NITTTR Bhopal – GTU - COGC-2021 Curriculum

Engineering Drawing Course Code: 4300007

d) World of work connect: Students should collect Production drawings, Building

Drawings, Layouts from nearby workshops/industries/builders/contractors and try to
• redraw types of lines used
• redraw lettering styles used
• list BIS code referred
• list the symbols/annotations/dimensioning used
• list the type of scales used. Compare the size of component on drawing sheet with
actual component.
