Graphical Communication

The module aims to teach students the principles of engineering drawing, create typical drawings using Computer-Aided-Design (CAD) tools, create freehand sketches using the correct sketching techniques, understand the concepts of axonometric, oblique and isometric projection in engineering drawings, create isometric and oblique sketches from an actual object and given Multiview drawing create a perspective sketches from an actual object, read and interpret civil and structural engineering drawings. Computer lab sessions using AutoCAD are an integral part of this module, with total contact hours equally apportioned between the lectures and the lab sessions.
