MECH 211 – Mechanical
Engineering Drawing
Introduction
François Tardy
Course Objectives
This course enables the students to learn the techniques and
standard practices of mechanical engineering drawings.
At the end of the lectures, you will be able* to :
• Read a working or assembly drawing (blueprint),
• Represent mechanical components in orthographic multiview
representation,
• Create conceptual design sketches,
• Create assembly drawings (limited by the design knowledge),
• Capability to use AutoCAD for 2-D (3-D) representations.
* The quality of acquired skills will be proportional to the motivation, will

and effort of the individuals.
Course Objectives
• To acquire essential skills that are part of the
mechanical engineering practice.
• To be able to communicate with other mechanical
engineering professionals regardless of their
language.
• To be able to communicate with mechanical system
manufacturers.
Course Logistics
• 5 teaching hours/week: Mondays & Wednesdays
14:45 –17:15.
• 12 lectures and one review class.
• Midterm (given during tutorial period).
• 2 hour of tutorial following the CAD room class.
• Non-informal – CAD lab.
• The final will be same for all sections.
• 4 labs, each lasting 4 hours: “The Anatomy of
Mechanical Engineering”.
Tutorials
• The tutorial classes will be held on Zoom.
• Although the objective of the tutorial is not to teach
AutoCAD, it is highly recommended to attempt to
solve assignments with AutoCAD during tutorials
while hand-drawn solutions should be completed at
home. Instructions for installing the Concordia VPN
are found here:
• Questions about problems and AutoCAD are
welcome during tutorials.
Laboratory
• Additional to the course (Anatomy of Mechanical
Engineering).
• A set of three sessions will begin on week #2, the week of
September 17th.
• There are specific requirements that you have to follow in
accordance with the course outline.
• Attendance and a satisfactory completion of the
requirements of the class are mandatory.

A few suggestions
• Attend the lectures – try to understand the objectives as well as
the procedures.
• Use time at home to read and study the chapters in the course
books – use the material posted on the internet.
• Try to solve practice problems in the textbook (without looking at
solutions), by yourself.
• Write the final exam with confidence that you will do very well.
• Do not procrastinate! “You cannot escape the responsibility of
tomorrow by evading it today.” ― Abraham Lincoln
