Course Description:
Engineering Drawings is a foundation course on the content and structure of engineering drawings. The course
occurs in several parts, beginning with the fundamentals of drawing content, orthographic projection, and
freehand sketching; it then moves on to more advanced topics such as auxiliary views, section views, and
conventional representations. The final part of the course includes coverage of items such as screw threads,
machined features, tolerances and fits, assemblies, bill of materials, and drawing revisions.
Rationale:
Engineering drawings are the language of industry, used to convey design information from the designer to the
manufacturer, inspector, or end user. The ability to understand the engineering information contained on
drawings is therefore crucial to all aspects of the engineering technician’s or technologist’s activities.
Additionally, the knowledge and skills acquired in this course are applied in subsequent courses in the
program.

Classes will be comprised of lectures, discussions, and assigned activities, as required. Students
are expected to take good notes and to maintain effective organization of their course materials
(lecture notes, class handouts, homework, tests, etc.).
The use of cell phones or cameras is not permitted in class.
Regular attendance of lectures is important for success and students are expected to attend all
classes. Students are responsible for catching up on any material missed due to absence.
Students are expected to attempt all exercises and assigned work (homework) and, in the case
of difficulty, seek further information as needed from available resources (professor, text book,
class notes, posted solutions, etc.). Feedback from students has indicated that working through
the homework assists greatly in developing student understanding of the course material
Industrial drawings will be referred to, where needed, to complement the course text.
Physical models, overlays, etc. will be used, where needed, to clarify visual interpretation of 3D
shapes.
Students will be encouraged to offer solutions to issues covered in class.
Tests will be approximately 50 minutes in length and quizzes approximately 10-15 minutes. No
consideration will be given to those absent from tests or quizzes unless a valid reason such as
sickness is established. Students are advised to see the professor as soon as possible prior to
the test, or else immediately after returning to school. Failing this, a grade of zero will be
assigned.

Subject Eligibility for Prior Learning Assessment & Recognition
(PLAR)
Yes
No
(Candidate eligibility is outlined in the
http://www.durhamcollege.ca/assets/Section~specific/Continuing~Education/documents/plar.pdf)
PLAR acknowledges subject mastery earned through work experience, professional development or nontraditional educational opportunities. The assessment can be written, oral, portfolio, or observational (or a
combination of these four formats). Assessment format is to be determined by the subject matter experts.
A candidate will not be able to initiate the PLAR process if s/he:
a) registered in the said subject within the last 10 months; or
b) audited the subject within the last ten (10) months; or
c) previously failed the subject (within the last 2 academic years); or
d) Misrepresented his/her performance in a College subject for the purpose of obtaining marks
or recognition.
Applications for PLAR should be completed prior to subject commencement. In any case, students
enrolled in the subject must apply and make payment for PLAR within the first two weeks of subject
commencement.
General Course Outline Notes:
1.
Students should use the course outline as a learning tool to guide their achievement of the learning

2.
The college considers the electronic format (i.e. MyCampus or DC Connect) as the primary channel of
communication. Students should check the sources regularly for current course information.
3.
Professors are responsible for following this outline and facilitating the learning as detailed in this outline.
4.
Course outlines should be retained for future needs (i.e. university credits, transfer of credits etc.)
5.
A full description of the Academic Appeals Process can be found at http://durhamcollege.ca/gradeappeal.
Students should use the course outline as a learning tool to guide their achievement of the learning
outcomes for this course. Specific questions should be directed to their individual professor.
6.
Faculty are committed to ensuring accessible learning for all students. Students with permanent
disabilities who require academic accommodations in accordance with the Ontario Human Rights Code
should register with the Centre for Students with Disabilities (CSD) to initiate in-class accommodations.
The CSD is located in room SW116, Oshawa Campus (or room 180, Whitby Campus). Call 905-721-3123.
