COURSE DESCRIPTION
Introduction to design thinking and engineering graphics. First and third angle orthogonal projections.
Isometric projections; sectioning, conventional practices, conic sections, and development. Freehand
and guided sketching – pictorial and orthographic. Visualizations and solid modelling in design,
prototyping and product-making. User interfaces in concrete terms. Design, drawing, animation,
rendering and simulation workspaces. Sketching of 3D objects. Viewports and sectioning to shop
drawings in orthographic projections and perspectives. Automated viewports. Sheet metal and
surface modelling. Material selection and rendering. This course will use latest professional design
tools such as fusion 360, solid works, solid edge or equivalent.

GENERAL INSTRUCTION
Attendance: It is expected that every student will be in class for lectures and also participate in exercises.
Attendance records will be kept and used to determine each person’s qualification to sit for the final
examination. In case of illness or other unavoidable cause of absence, the student must communicate as soon

examination malpractice and also should adhere to examination instructions on use of mobile phones. Failure
to submit an assignment as at when due will earn you zero for such assignment.
