Technical Drawing will utilize drafting skills to create different forms of technical drawings. We will learn about various types of drawings. These could include mechanical, electrical, and industrial fields. We will be using Practical Drafting Applied Engineering Graphics Workbook. I will provide copies of the pages from the workbook. The student will need to supply the following:
Three-ring binder
Drawing paper
Drafting board (angled)
T-Square
Triangles 30,60,90 45,45,90 adjustable is nice as well
Masking tape
Mechanical Pencils - .5mm, .7mm and .9mm are preferred
Eraser (rubber)
Erasing shield
Adjustable compass
Scale rulers (metric and English)
Other instruments may be added if we need them.
Purchasing a drafting kit on Amazon would be easiest.
The goal is for each student to feel confident and comfortable with the various concepts and ideas required to create a technical drawing.
Other instruments to be determined by the instructor as needed.
Please note that the cost of all these materials may amount to an investment of over $100. The student will need his own drafting table and tools to participate in the class. Here are some links to items for class:
