12. ENGINEERING DRAWING
Engineering drawing, often referred to as technical drawing or drafting, is a
graphical representation of an object or a system that communicates
information about its size, shape, and assembly. It serves as a universal
language in the engineering and manufacturing fields, providing a precise and
standardized way to convey design details. A common use is to specify the
geometry necessary for the construction of a component. Usually, a number of
drawings are necessary to completely specify even a simple component. These
drawings are linked together by a master drawing. This master drawing is more
commonly known as an assembly drawing. The assembly drawing gives the
drawing numbers of the subsequent detailed components, quantities required,
construction materials and possibly 3D images that can be used to locate
individual items. Although mostly consisting of pictographic representations,
abbreviations and symbols are used for additional textual explanations may
also be provided.The process of producing engineering drawings is often
referred to as technical drawing or drafting. Drawings typically contain
multiple views of a component, although additional scratch views may be
added of details for further explanation. Only the information that is a
requirement is typically specified. Key information such as dimensions is
specified in a drawing. Suitable tolerances are given for critical dimensions to
allow the component to be manufactured and function.Drawings have an
information box or title block containing who drew the drawing, who
approved it, units of dimensions, meaning of views, the title of the drawing and
the drawing number.
1) Various Drawing Sheet sizes
67
I. Orthographic Projection: Orthographic projection is a technique used in
engineering drawing to represent a three-dimensional object in two
dimensions.Typically, an orthographic drawing includes front, top, and side
views that are projected onto planes that are perpendicular to each other,
providing a complete picture of the object from different angles.These views
help in visualizing the object's shape and size accurately. These views
collectively provide a comprehensive understanding of the object's geometry.
✤ Types of orthographic projections are:-
a. First Angle Projection :In first angle projection, the object is imagined to be
in the first quadrant (between the observer and the object), and the planes of
projection are placed between the object and the observer.First angle
projection is commonly used in Europe, Asia, and other parts of the world. It's
important to note that when using first angle projection, the views are arranged
in the order of top, front, and side (right or left), with the top view being placed
above the front view.
BOTTOM
TOP
b. Third Angle Projection :In third angle projection, the object is imagined to
be in the third quadrant (behind the planes of projection), and the planes are
placed between the object and the observer.Third angle projection is
predominantly used in the United States and some other countries. In this
projection method, the views are arranged in the order of front, top, and side
(right or left), with the front view placed in the lower half of the drawing.
TOP
BOTTOM
3) Scale : Scale refers to the ratio of the size of the drawing to the actual size of
the object it represents.Engineers use scales to ensure that the drawing
accurately reflects the dimensions of the object. Common scales include 1:1,
69
1:2, or 1:100, indicating the relationship between the drawing and the actual
size.
Length

71
Figure 74: Surface Finish Symbols
7) Title Block : The title block is a section of the drawing that contains essential
information about the drawing, such as the title, scale, date, and the name of
the designer. The title block provides context and serves as a reference for
understanding the drawing and its associated documentation.
9) Bill of Materials (BOM) :The BOM provides a list of all the components and
materials required for the assembly or project.It includes part numbers,
descriptions, quantities, and sometimes additional information such as
material specifications.
72
10) Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T): GD&T is a symbolic
language used on engineering drawings to define and communicate permissible
variations in form, size, orientation, and location of features.GD&T ensures
precise communication of design intent, allowing for more detailed and
comprehensive control of tolerances.
73
13. CAD/CAM SOFTWARES
1) AutoCAD : AutoCAD, developed by Autodesk, is a computer-aided design
(CAD) software that has become a standard tool in various industries for
creating 2D and 3D drawings. AutoCAD is widely used by architects,
engineers, drafters, designers, and other professionals involved in the fields of
architecture, engineering, and construction.
✤ Here are key aspects and features of AutoCAD:
a. User Interface:AutoCAD provides a graphical user interface with a ribbon

14. PROJECT
During the internship we were told to do practice of 2D drafting of some
industrial drawings on AutoCAD.And later on we were given a chance to do a
small project of our own for the laser cutting machine.So were prepared a
design for keychain on AutoCAD and then imported that design in TruTops
Boost software and prepared the process plan for laser cutting machine.Later
we were given
We followed the following steps:-
i.Preparation of a drawing on AutoCAD in .dwg format.
ii.Importing it into TruTops Boost software.
iii.Selecting material and sheet thickness.
iv.Adjusting drawing on sheet.
v.Deciding path of laser cuting nozzle head.
vi.Preparing the process plan sheet.

15. CONCLUSION
After the completion of this internship, I had been exposed to a industrial &
professional working environment.I got introduced to various mechanical and
industrial processes carryed out in the industry and also various job profile
available in the industry.It was really an astounding thing to see that all the
things that I had been learning in the academics were being used in the
industry.I got opportunity to closely observe and imbibe in me problem solving
and team work skills.I improved my communication skills.Because of this
internship I realized the utmost importance of observation and critical
thinking.
Due to a hands on practice on the CAD/CAM softwares I came to know an
overview of their actual working and application in the industry.I also learnt
various aspects of engineering drawing reading.
All the staff members gave me guidance and advice throughout my
internship.These advices and guidance helped me very much and am I am sure
that they will prove to be useful for me in future to tackle with challenges.I am
confident that the learning that I got from this internship will play a crucial
role in my career.
Following are the key points whose importance I got to know by this
internship: -
a.Critical & Analytical Thinking:Critical and analytical thinking are paramount
for a mechanical engineer. These skills help in problem-solving, decision-
making, and identifying optimal solutions to complex engineering
challenges.When encountering design flaws, manufacturing issues, or
troubleshooting problems, critical and analytical thinking allow engineers to
analyze data, assess situations, and devise effective solutions.
b.Time Management:Time is a precious resource in engineering projects.
Efficient time management ensures that tasks are completed within deadlines,
preventing project delays and cost overruns.Mechanical engineers must
organize their work, set priorities, and allocate time effectively to meet project
milestones. Tools like Gantt charts can aid in visualizing and managing project
timelines.
c.Goal Management:Setting and achieving goals is crucial for project success.
Engineers need a clear understanding of project objectives to deliver high-
79
quality results.Mechanical engineers establish short-term and long-term goals,
aligning them with project requirements. Regularly reviewing and adjusting
goals ensures adaptability to evolving project needs.
d.Teamwork:Mechanical engineering projects are rarely solo endeavors.
Effective teamwork enhances creativity, collaboration, and the pooling of
diverse skills.Engineers collaborate with professionals from various disciplines
(electrical, civil, etc.) to ensure a comprehensive approach. Communication
skills are essential to convey ideas and work harmoniously within a team.
e.Communication Skills:Clear communication is vital in conveying ideas,
presenting designs, and coordinating with team members and
stakeholders.Mechanical engineers need to articulate technical concepts
effectively, whether through reports, presentations, or discussions. Strong
communication fosters understanding and collaboration.
f.Adaptability:Engineering projects often evolve, and unforeseen challenges
arise. Adaptability enables engineers to respond effectively to changes in
requirements or unexpected issues.Mechanical engineers must be flexible in
adjusting designs, methodologies, or project plans when necessary. Embracing
new technologies and methodologies is also part of staying adaptable.
