ENGINEERING GRAPHICS LAB

COURSE CODE: MAE1601 CREDITS: 01

COURSE OBJECTIVE

The primary objective of this course is to develop the students to visualize and communicate all
geometrical elements and also understanding the fundamentals of geometry like engineering curves,
planes, solids, sections, developments & isometric views and its applications in the daily life.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

Student gets thorough knowledge of various Geometrical Elements used in Engineering Practice.
He gets the insight into the Concepts of all 2 D elements like Conic Sections and 3 D Objects like
various Prisms, Cylinders, Pyramids and Cones.
He also understands the Projections of various objects and their representation and dimensioning.
The Concept of Isometric Projections is thoroughly taught which will be useful for the visualization of
any object

COURSE CONTENTS

UNIT I

various type lines - Geometrical Constructions.
Scales: Construction and use of plain and diagonal scales.
Conic Sections: conic sections - general construction method for ellipse, parabola and hyperbola. Special
methods for conic sections.
Curves: Curves used in Engineering practice - Cycloidal curves - Cycloid, Epicycloid and Hypocycloid;
Involute of circle.

UNIT II
Method of Projections: Principles of projection - First angle projection and third angle projection of
points and straight lines.
Projection of Planes: Projections of planes of regular geometrical lamina.

UNIT III
Projections of Solids: Projections of simple solids such as Cubes, Prisms, Pyramids, Cylinders and Cones
with varying positions.
Sections of Solids: Sections of solids such as Cubes, Prisms, Pyramids, Cylinders and Cones. true shapes
of sections. (Limited to the Section Planes perpendicular to one of the Principal Planes).

UNIT IV
