Course abstract
The aim of the study course is to create and develop geometrical logic, spatial thinking and imagination. The basic method used in technical drawing study course framework is the graphical method. The students get thought to draft and read drawings what is the international graphical method and means of expression constructive thought.
Students learn the general design rules of draughts, methods of projecting, three-view drawing of an object, orthographic views of the principal geometrical elements, and geometric solids on the standard views. Method of central projecting.
Learning outcomes and their assessment
• Knowledge - knows the projection method, view, and section view building principles. Knows the design of different geometrical shapes and its flat pattern views. Knows the drawings related LVS standards.
• Skills - can select the right method for solving tasks. Can draw the drawings of parts, axonometric views, design part working drawings, perform drawings of dismountable and rigid assemblies and text documentation for it, as well as read assembly drawings and detailing them according LVS standards.
• Competence - able to draft, produce, read and understand technical drawings which are an international language of graphic and means of expression of creative and constructive thinking, able to apply professional knowledge of technical drawing skills in practical work and studies.
