MašZ1002 [GMAS1002] Descriptive Geometry, Technical Drawing I
Course abstract
The aim of this course is to learn general design rules of draughts, methods of projecting, three-view drawing of an object, orthographic views of the principal geometrical elements, metrical tasks, geometric solids on the standard views and intersections between surfaces.
Learning outcomes and their assessment
1) Knowledge - - understands the projection method, view, and section view building principles. Knows solving methods of metric and positional tasks. Have a good knowledge of design of different geometrical shapes and its flat pattern views.
2) Skills – can select the right method for solving metric and positional tasks.
3) Competence – ability to apply professional knowledge of descriptive geometry and drawing skills in practical work and studies.
