Course Topics
- Lines used in technical drawing according to standards - Orthographic projections - Sections - Dimensioning - Introduction to 2D CAD modelling

Teaching format
Lectures and exercises on projections, sections, dimensioning and drafting; tutorials for introducing 2D CAD

Educational objectives
Knowledge and understanding 1) fundamental rules and standards of the technical drawing 2) drafting of parts through the use of representation methods and dimensioning 3) notions of 2D CAD systems Applying knowledge and understanding 4) interpretation of a solid based on necessary views and sections 5) applying drawing standards correctly 6) representing a part accurately Making judgements 7) autonomously choosing (and justifying the choice of) a specific representation method in terms of, e.g. clarity, completeness and non-ambiguity 8) identifying the critical dimensions in the representation of a part Communication skills 9) using the appropriate terms in the field of technical drawing Learning skills 10) ability to autonomously extend the knowledge acquired during the study course by consulting additional sources 11) ability to interpret drawings and identify possible inconsistencies with standards

Assessment
The examination of the course is via a written exam including: a. exercises with projections and/or sections b. exercises to test the understanding of dimensioning and drafting c. questions about theoretical aspects d. exercises to detect errors in the technical drawing. The assessment procedure evaluates • the capability of interpreting and representing technical systems correctly (Learning Outcomes 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7), by means of exercises of type a.; • the capability of drafting and dimensioning correctly (Learning Outcomes 1, 2, 6, 7, 8), by means of exercises of type b.; • the capability of reporting the fundamental notions of technical drawing in a correct and detailed way (Learning Outcomes 1, 9) by means of exercises of type c.; • the capability of identifying inconsistencies in the technical drawing (Learning Outcomes 4, 5, 7, 8, 11) by means of exercises of type d. The non-mentioned items of the above Learning Outcomes will be trained during the course as well. The Learning Outcome 3 will be pursued through specific exercises. The Learning Outcome 10 will be monitored by providing supplementary material.

Evaluation criteria
For each exercise included in the written exam, the maximum number of points achievable is indicated. The final score is the sum of points achieved in each exercise.
