This document outlines an engineering graphics course offered at Vikrant University in Gwalior, India. The course objectives are to provide basic knowledge of engineering drawing and technical drawing concepts useful for an engineering career. The course content covers topics like orthographic projections, sections, isometric projections, and an introduction to computer-aided drafting software. Upon completing the course, students will be able to draw views and projections of objects, convert between orthographic and isometric projections, and use CAD tools to create 2D and 3D drawings. References for the course include engineering drawing textbooks and CAD software manuals. Labs involve drawing and sketching components from the syllabus.

significance, usage of Drawing instruments, lettering, Conic sections including the Rectangular
Hyperbola (General method only), Cycloid, Epicycloid, Hypocycloid and Involute, Scales –
Plain, Diagonal and Vernier Scales.
Orthographic Projections: Principles of Orthographic Projections-Conventions - Projections
of Points and lines inclined to both planes, Projections of planes inclined Planes - Auxiliary
Planes.
UNIT-II: Projections of Regular Solids: Covering those inclined to both the Planes-
Auxiliary Views; Draw simple annotation, dimensioning and scale. Floor plans that include:
windows, doors, and fixtures such as WC, bath, sink, shower, etc.
UNIT-III: Sections and Sectional Views of Right Angular Solids: Prism, Cylinder,
Pyramid, Cone – Auxiliary Views, Development of surfaces of Right Regular Solids - Prism,
Pyramid, Cylinder and Cone, Draw the sectional orthographic views of geometrical solids,
objects from industry and dwellings (foundation to slab only).
UNIT-IV: Isometric Projections: Principles of Isometric projection – Isometric Scale,
Isometric Views, Conventions, Isometric Views of lines, Planes, Simple and compound Solids,
Conversion of Isometric Views to Orthographic Views and Vice-versa, Conventions.
UNIT-V: Overview of Computer Graphics: Listing the computer technologies that impact
on graphical communication, Demonstrating knowledge of the theory of CAD software [such
as: The Menu System, Toolbars (Standard, Object Properties, Draw, Modify and Dimension),
Drawing Area (Background, Crosshairs, Coordinate System), Dialog boxes and windows,
Shortcut menus (Button Bars), The Command Line (where applicable), The Status Bar,
