DES1060: Technical Design & Drafting 1
- Students develop basic knowledge, skills and techniques to draft drawings for visualizing and illustrating simple design problems.
- Prerequisite: None
Assignment 1 - Theory
Watch the following videos.
- Common Drawing Types -
- First and Third Angle Projections
- Technical Drawing Applications
- Dimensional and Orthographic Drawing
Answer the following questions.
- What are multi-view and orthographic drawings?
- What is the difference between first angle projections and third angle projections?
- Define each of the following:
- isometric drawing
- oblique drawing
- one-point perspective
- two-point perspective
- How does CAD related to careers that you might be interested in?
- What are some skills you have or need to develop in order to be successful at CAD?
Assignment 2 - Draw a Manufactured Object
Draw a manufactured object that includes an illustrated detail; e.g., a hinge system on a box lid, a construction detail for a foundation, a pin to hold a wheel on an axle. Produce pictorial representations, surface developments, and renderings.
For that project produce a minimum of one of each of the following:
- isometric drawing
- oblique drawing (either cavalier or cabinet)
- one-point and two-point perspective drawings
- surface development for illustrating assembly; e.g., for a package, heating/ventilation duct, garment, exterior isometric
Assignment 3 - Draw a Room
Draw a room, applying industry standards to annotations and dimensions and producing a minimum of one of each of the following:
- orthographic
- plan view
- elevations; e.g., schematic, drawing
Outcomes
The student will:
- recognize multi-view drawings and pictorials
- identify multi-view and orthographic drawings and their common views (e.g., front, top, side) and discriminate between first angle projections and third angle projections
- identify common pictorial drawing types; e.g., isometric, oblique, one- and two-point perspective
- produce pictorial representations, surface developments and renderings
- produce a minimum of one of each of the following within the context of assigned projects:
- isometric drawing
- oblique drawing (either cavalier or cabinet)
- one-point and two-point perspective drawings
- surface development for illustrating assembly; e.g., for a package, heating/ventilation duct, garment, exterior isometric
- draw a manufactured object that includes an illustrated detail; e.g., a hinge system on a box lid, a construction detail for a foundation, a pin to hold a wheel on an axle
- produce multi-view drawings
- produce a minimum of one of each of the following within the context of assigned projects:
- orthographic
- plan view
- elevations; e.g., schematic, drawing
- apply industry standards to annotations and dimensions
- produce and present a portfolio-ready drawing, rendering or image
- apply industry standards to presentation copy
- submit presentation copy for assessment
- maintain a design folder that illustrates skill building
- identify copyright restrictions and permissions and put them into practice
- apply consistent and appropriate work station routines
- demonstrate good health and safety practices; e.g., posture, positioning of hardware and furniture
- demonstrate security for hardware, software, supplies and personal work
- demonstrate basic competencies
- demonstrate fundamental skills to:
- communicate
- manage information
- use numbers
- think and solve problems
- demonstrate personal management skills to:
- demonstrate positive attitudes and behaviours
- be responsible
- be adaptable
- learn continuously
- work safely
- demonstrate teamwork skills to:
- work with others
- participate in projects and tasks
- make personal connections to the cluster content and processes to inform possible pathway choices
- complete/update a personal inventory; e.g., interests, values, beliefs, resources, prior learning and experiences
- create a connection between a personal inventory and occupational choices
