Course Overview
The course is divided into two sections: (i) Interpretation of Machinery Drawing and Handbooks/Marine Engineering Drawing and Design and (ii) Technical Communication for Design. In Section (i) the student is introduced to the various types of drawings: general arrangement, assembly, component and pictorial drawings, linework, and projections including isometric and oblique projections. Interpretation of dimensioning and geometric tolerance symbols, based on ISO standards is also covered, and the students will use the reference tables to calculate standard limits and fits. The student would make various engineering drawings employing the conventions and engineering drawing practice. Interpretation of piping, hydraulic, and pneumatic diagrams would also be covered. In Section (ii) the student would learn the basics of the AutoCAD software to be able to make drawings in 2D, orthographic projection in 1st and/or 3rd angle to produce working drawings of assemblies and components of marine machinery. Interpretation of block, logic systems, flow diagrams, and general arrangement, machinery, and equipment drawings applicable to marine systems would also be covered.
