RATIONALE:
Engineering graphics is the language of engineers.
It describes the fundamentals, facts, concepts, principles and techniques of Engineering Graphics.
The course illustrates techniques of drawing in an engineering field.
The concepts of graphical language are used in expressing the ideas, conveying the instructions, which are
used in carrying out the jobs on the sites, shop floor etc.
It helps to develop the idea of visualizing the actual object or part on the basis of drawings and blue prints.
This course is useful in developing drafting and sketching skills of the student.
This preliminary course aims at building a foundation for the further course in drawing and other allied
courses.

INTRODUCTION
In Engineer’s case, when he thinks about creating some engineering product (object), it
emerges first in his mind, in the form of an idea. But he cannot convert this idea into the
real object in his mind alone. Now he needs external assistance and he desire to share
or communicate this idea to the external world.
But it is not possible to express this idea in any of the routine languages. To fulfil his
requirement, he developed a special language for himself, called ‘Engineering Graphics’
or ‘Engineering Drawing’. It’s a graphical language. For Engineers it is essential.
Engineering Drawing has its own grammar ( points, lines and curves) like any other
language in the form of a definite set of rules.
INTRODUCTION
“An Engineering Drawing is a technical (not artistic) drawing which clearly defines and
communicates a design to other interested parties. Other parties may have an interest
in design collaboration, procurement / purchasing, costing, manufacturing, quality
control, marketing, handling / packaging.”
Drawing: The way of conveying the ideas through the systematic lines on the paper.
The art of representation of an object by systematic lines on a paper.
Classification:
1. Artistic Drawing
2. Engineering Drawing
INTRODUCTION
1. Artistic Drawing - The art of representation of an object by the artist by his
imagination or by keeping the object before him. e.g. paintings, cinema posters,
advertisement boards, etc.
2. Engineering Drawing - The art of representation of engineering objects. e.g.
buildings, roads, machines, etc.
