to
Engineering Drawing I
Learning objectives
• Describe engineering graphics
• Apply drawing standards
• Identify drawing tools and accessories
1. Introduction
1. Try to write a description of
this object.
2. Test your written description
by having someone attempt
to make a sketch from your
description.
You can easily understand that …
The word language is inadequate for describing the
size, shape and features completely as well as
concisely.

Engineering drawing is a graphical language used by
engineers to communicates ideas and information.
It is made up of graphic language and word language
Graphic language describe the shape of an object.
Word language describe the size, location and
specification of the object.

1.2 Types of Engineering Drawings
Engineering graphics can be classified into the
following main categories;
free hand sketching
instruments
computer aided design
1.2.1 Freehand drawing
Type of drawing where lines are sketched without using
instruments other than pencils and erasers.
Example
1.2.2 Instrument drawing
Instruments are used to draw straight lines, circles,
and curves concisely and accurately. Thus, the
drawings are usually made to scale.
Example
1.2.3 Computer Aided drawing
A method in which drawings are usually made by
commercial software such as AutoCAD, Solid works etc.
Example
1.3 Drawing standards
Engineering graphics has a well-defined set of
standards in which drawings are produced.
Drawing standards are used so that drawings
convey the same meaning to everyone who
reads them all over the world.

1.3.2 Drawing Sheet
All engineering drawings are done on sheets of paper of
strictly defined sizes, which are set forth in the ISO-A
series.
ISO-A series establishes five preferred sizes for drawing
sheet as shown on the next slide:

1.3.3 Title Block
Title block is a rectangular frame that is located at the bottom
of the sheet.
Title block shows all necessary information not shown
on the drawing itself e.g. drafters name, drawing name,
Scale of the drawing etc.

1.4 Drawing Instruments & Accessories
Drawing instruments are required for
ensuring perfection in manual
drawing.
Drawing board Drawing Pencils
T-square Eraser
Set-square (45o and 30o – 60o) Drawing Pins
Compass and Divider Adhesive tapes
Protractor Sharpener
French curves Tissue paper/clean
Drawing Papers cloth
Drawing Board
Table 1 - Common drawing board sizes
T-Square
T-squares are often made
from hard quality wood
having a transparent
plastic edge.
T-squares are used to
draw horizontal lines
Drawing horizontal lines
1. Press the T-square head against the left edge of the table.
2. Smooth the blade to the right.
3. Draw the line from left to right
Set squares
(300-600) and (450-900) set
squares are generally used
Set squares are used to draw
vertical and sloping lines
Draw a vertical line
1. Set T-square as before.
Place any triangle on T-square edge.
2. Use your left hand to hold both T-square and triangle
in position.
Draw a line at 60o with horizontal
1. Place 30o-60o triangle on the T-square edge and press
them firmly against the paper.
2. Draw the line in the direction as shown below.
Compass
The compass is used for drawing circles and arcs
of circles of required sizes
Compass
1. Sharpen the lead with a sandpaper.
2. Adjust the needle and the lead so that the tip of
the needle extends slightly more than the lead.
needle lead
French Curves
French curves are used to draw smooth curves
of almost any desired curvature in engineering
drawings.
Pencils
• A set of pencils ranges from hardest to
softest as follows:
2H or HB for thick line
Working ends of pencil (a) Conical
(b) Chiseled (c) Beveled 5H or 6 H for thin line
Clips and Adhesive tapes
Sand Paper & Sharpener
Eraser & Erasing Shield
Tissue paper
