Mechanical drawing:
Drawing, as an art, is the picturisation of the imagination of the scene in its totality
by an individual—the Artist. It has no standard guidelines and boundaries.
Engineering drawing on the other hand is the scientific representation of an object,
according to certain national and international standards of practice. It can be
understood by all, with the knowledge of basic principles of drawing. Machine
drawing is the indispensable communicating medium employed in industries, to
furnish all the information required for the manufacture and assembly of the
components of a machine.
Teaching the student, the basic skill of reading engineering drawing along with
their simples and terms as well as the standards. knowledge of assembly drawings
and how to use ACD in mechanical drawing
1. This module fluid mechanics is intended to develop a deeper understanding of the
relationship between design and analysis processing as this module discusses various
fluid systems..
2. The student will be able to analyze simplified fluid problems with the aim of reduction
of energy losses and manpower. The student will be able to identify/control the
appropriate process parameters, and possible defects of processes malfunctions so as to
remove them.
3. For each fluid process, the aspects covered include: aesthetics, principles, choices of
materials, choice of processes, properties of materials, advantages and disadvantages,
process economics. Examples are drawn from practical processes mainly used in
aerospace, automotive and airconditioning industries.
4. To introduce the theory and practice of fluid machines parts and assemblies using a wide
range of technologies.
5. To allow processes to be chosen appropriately for any given application with any given
fluid material.
6. To develop group working, research and writing skills.
7. To provide knowledge on the influence of thermal and mechanical parameters on system
structure.
