The course focuses on mechanical drawing that is mainly used by product designers. It includes theoretical lectures (2h/week) and laboratory lectures (2 h/week).
The subjects of the course are:
- Introduction to technical and theoretical aspects of engineering drawing, engineering communication
- Introduction to Descriptive Geometry
- Projections and construction techniques of different views
- Sections and dimensioning
- Drawing, reading and interpretation of mechanical drawings
The students will:
- Learn the fundamentals of engineering drawing
- Develop skills in producing, understanding, and interpreting technical drawings of industrial products, in order to be able to support all tasks involved in product design
- Be able to understand and represent 3D space in two dimensions
- Learn how to organize a technical drawing
- Use modern computer based tools to produce an engineering drawing
