Basic Engineering Drawing (LBYME1A)

TARGET AUDIENCE: Students, Academics, Industry Professionals, Employers, and Tech Enthusiasts

OVERVIEW: I took this class as a freshman. It’s an introductory course to know basic geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) as well as execution of basic drafting. Know more about the syllabus in this link.

LEARNINGS and EXPERIENCE: I took this class during the pandemic and I had to buy all the equipment myself like a T-square, 0.5 uni pen fine line and pencils. Looking back, I was fortunate to have the privilege to have a space for me to do drafting in my family’s dining room where I spent 1-2 hours to make these drawings. A lesson I have kept from taking this course was that I was able to understand the difference between design projections. Isometric view provides all three dimensions in one view while orthographic view provides the three separate views. This was helpful in my progression towards computer-aided-design (CAD).

I was able to display knowledge in dimensioning for 2-D objects in terms of filets and chamfers. I was also able to demonstrate difference in graphic representations like visible lines, hidden lines, dimension lines, symmetry lines, phantom lines, break lines, and hatch lines. Lastly, dimensioning is a particular subject that I put emphasis on in these plates. Below is a consolidation of my works.
